  inko_byte_array_from_pointer(_INKO.state, pointer, size)
}

fn pub static from_pointer(pointer: Pointer[UInt8], size: Int) -> ByteArray

Returns a ByteArray created from a raw pointer.

The size argument specifies the number of bytes to read starting at the given pointer.

The purpose of this method is to allow creating a ByteArray from a pointer returned by C code. Avoid using this method for anything else.

}

fn pub mut copy_from(bytes: ref ByteArray, at: Int, size: Int) -> Int

Copies up to size bytes from bytes into self, starting at the index at.

The return value is the number of bytes copied. This value may be less than size if there are fewer bytes in bytes.

Examples

let a = ByteArray.from_array([1, 2, 3, 4])
let b = ByteArray.new

b.copy_from(a, at: 0, size: 2)

b # => ByteArray.from_array([1, 2])

fn pub mut drain_to_string -> String {
  inko_byte_array_drain_to_string(_INKO.state, self)
}

fn pub mut drain_to_string -> String

Returns a new String using the bytes in this ByteArray, draining it in the process.

After this method is finished, self is left empty. This allows one to convert a temporary ByteArray into a String, without requiring the list of bytes to be allocated twice.

Examples

Draining a ByteArray into a String:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([105, 110, 107, 111])

bytes.drain_to_string # => 'inko'
bytes.empty?          # => true

fn pub empty? -> Bool {
  size == 0
}

fn pub empty? -> Bool

Returns true if self is empty.

Examples

ByteArray.new.empty? => true

fn pub fmt(formatter: mut Formatter) {
  let fmt = formatter.array

  iter.each(fn (byte) { fmt.value(byte) })
  fmt.finish
}

fn pub fmt(formatter: mut Formatter)

    case -1 -> Option.None
    case val -> Option.Some(val)
  }
}

  inko_byte_array_push(self, value)
  _INKO.moved(value)
}

fn pub mut push(value: Int)

Pushes a value to the back of the ByteArray, returning the pushed value.

  bounds_check(index, size)
  inko_byte_array_remove(self, index)
}

fn pub mut remove_at(index: Int) -> Int

Removes the value at the given index, returning the removed value.

Examples

Removing an existing value:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([10])

bytes.remove_at(0) # => 10
bytes.size         # => 0

Panics

This method panics if the index is out of bounds.

fn pub mut resize(size: Int, value: Int) {
  if size < 0 { panic('The new size must be greater than zero') }

  inko_byte_array_resize(self, size, value)
}

fn pub mut resize(size: Int, value: Int)

Resizes self to the new size.

If the given size is greater than the current size, the value argument is used to fill in the additional slots. If the given size is less than the current size, self is simply truncated.

Panics

This method panics if the given size is less than zero.

Examples

let bytes = ByteArray.new

bytes.resize(size: 2, value: 1)
bytes # => ByteArray.from_array([1, 1])

bytes.resize(size: 0, value: 0)
bytes # => ByteArray.new

fn pub mut reverse {
  let mut a = 0
  let mut b = size - 1

  while a < b {
    let a_val = inko_byte_array_get(self, a)

    inko_byte_array_set(self, a, inko_byte_array_set(self, b, a_val))
    a += 1
    b -= 1
  }
}

fn pub mut reverse

Examples

let a = ByteArray.from_array([10, 20, 30])

a.reverse

a # => ByteArray.from_array([30, 20, 10])

fn pub mut set(index: Int, value: Int) {
  bounds_check(index, size)
  inko_byte_array_set(self, index, value)
  _INKO.moved(value)
}

fn pub mut set(index: Int, value: Int)

Stores a byte at the given index, then returns it.

Panics

This method panics if the index is out of bounds.

Examples

Setting the value of an existing index:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([10, 20])

bytes.set(0, 30)
bytes.get(0) # => 30

fn pub size -> Int {
  inko_byte_array_size(self)
}

fn pub size -> Int

Returns the number of bytes in this ByteArray.

Examples

Obtaining the size of a ByteArray

ByteArray.new.size              # => 0
ByteArray.from_array([10]).size # => 1

fn pub slice(start: Int, size: Int) -> ByteArray {
  bounds_check(start, self.size)
  inko_byte_array_slice(_INKO.state, self, start, size)
}

fn pub slice(start: Int, size: Int) -> ByteArray

Slices self into a new ByteArray.

Similar to slicing a String, slicing a ByteArray allows one to extract a sub-array by providing a start position and the number of bytes to include starting at the start position.

Examples

Slicing a ByteArray:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([1, 2, 3, 4])
let sliced = bytes.slice(start: 1, size: 2)

sliced.get(0) # => 2
sliced.get(1) # => 3

  iter.to_array
}

fn pub to_array -> Array[Int]

Converts the ByteArray to an Array!(Int).

Examples

Converting a ByteArray:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([105, 110, 107, 111])

bytes.to_array # => [105, 110, 107, 111]

fn pub to_pointer -> Pointer[UInt8] {
  inko_byte_array_to_pointer(self)
}

fn pub to_pointer -> Pointer[UInt8]

Returns a raw pointer to the bytes of self.

This method is meant to be used when passing byte arrays to foreign functions. You should avoid using it for anything else.

fn pub to_string -> String {
  inko_byte_array_to_string(_INKO.state, self)
}

fn pub to_string -> String

Returns a new String using the bytes in this ByteArray.

Any invalid UTF-8 sequences will be replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, which looks like this: �

Examples

Converting a ByteArray into a String:

let bytes = ByteArray.from_array([105, 110, 107, 111])

bytes.to_string # => 'inko'
