--  This child package of Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded provides some

--  specialized access functions which are intended to allow more efficient

--  use of the facilities of Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded, particularly by

--  other layered utilities.

package Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Aux is

   pragma Preelaborate;

   procedure Get_Wide_Wide_String

     (U : Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;

      S : out Wide_Wide_String_Access;

      L : out Natural);

   pragma Inline (Get_Wide_Wide_String);

   --  This procedure returns the internal string pointer used in the

   --  representation of an unbounded string as well as the actual current

   --  length (which may be less than S.all'Length because in general there

   --  can be extra space assigned). The characters of this string may be

   --  not be modified via the returned pointer,  and are valid only as

   --  long as the original unbounded string is not accessed or modified.

   --

   --  This procedure is more efficient than the use of To_Wide_Wide_String

   --  since it avoids the need to copy the string. The lower bound of the

   --  referenced string returned by this call is always one, so the actual

   --  string data is always accessible as S (1 .. L).

   procedure Set_Wide_Wide_String

     (UP : in out Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;

      S  : Wide_Wide_String);

   pragma Inline (Set_Wide_Wide_String);

   --  This function sets the string contents of the referenced unbounded

   --  string to the given string value. It is significantly more efficient

   --  than the use of To_Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String with an assignment, since

   --  it avoids the necessity of messing with finalization chains. The lower

   --  bound of the string S is not required to be one.

   procedure Set_Wide_Wide_String

     (UP : in out Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;

      S  : Wide_Wide_String_Access);

   pragma Inline (Set_Wide_Wide_String);

   --  This version of Set_Wide_Wide_String takes a string access value, rather

   --  than string. The lower bound of the string value is required to be one,

   --  and this requirement is not checked.
