NAME

src/string_primitives.c - String Primitives

DESCRIPTION

This file collects together all the functions that call into the ICU API.

Functions

void string_set_data_directory

Set the directory where ICU finds its data files (encodings, locales, etc.).

Parrot_UInt4 string_unescape_one

Unescape a single character. We assume that we're at the start of a sequence, right after the \.

Character Property Functions

INTVAL Parrot_char_digit_value

Returns the decimal digit value of the specified character if it is a decimal digit character. If not, then -1 is returned.

Note that as currently written, Parrot_char_digit_value() can correctly return the decimal digit value of characters for which Parrot_char_is_digit() returns false.

char *str_dup

Duplicate a C string. Just like strdup(), except it dies if it runs out of memory.
