A minimal library for handling wide C strings.

§1. By "wide string", we mean an array of inchar32_t. A pointer to this type is what is returned by a U-literal in ANSI C, such as U"look, I'm wide". A wide string is essentially a C string but with characters stored in full words instead of bytes. The character values should be Unicode code points.

int Wide::len?Usage of Wide::len:
String Manipulation - §4, §5, §21, §22
Tries and Avinues - §2.3
Pattern Matching - §11.2(const inchar32_t *p) {
    int l = 0;
    while (p[l] != 0) l++;
    return l;
}

§2. On the rare occasions when we need to sort alphabetically we'll also call:

int Wide::cmp?Usage of Wide::cmp:
HTML - §24(inchar32_t *A, inchar32_t *B) {
    int i = 0;
    while (1)
    {
        inchar32_t a = A[i];
        inchar32_t b = B[i];
        if (a == b)
        {
            if (a == 0) return 0;
        }
        else
        {
            return (a > b) ? 1 : -1;
        }
        i++;
    }
    return 0;
}

§3.

int Wide::atoi(inchar32_t *p) {
    int val = 0, sign = 1;
    while (Characters::is_whitespace(*p)) p++;
    if (*p == '-')
    {
        sign = -1;
        p++;
    }
    while (Characters::isdigit(*p))
    {
        val = (val * 10) + (int) (*p - '0');
        p++;
    }
    return val * sign;
}

§4.

void Wide::copy?Usage of Wide::copy:
Tries and Avinues - §2.3(inchar32_t *to, inchar32_t *from) {
    int i = 0;
    while (1)
    {
        to[i] = from[i];
        if (to[i] == 0) return;
        i++;
    }
}
