Method Details

execute

public abstract TruffleString execute(Object pointerObject,
 int byteOffset,
 int byteLength,
 TruffleString.Encoding encoding,
 boolean copy)

Create a new TruffleString from an interop object representing a native pointer ( isPointer(pointerObject) must return true). The pointer is immediately unboxed with (asPointer(pointerObject)) and saved in the TruffleString instance, i.e. TruffleString assumes that the pointer address does not change. The pointer's content is assumed to be encoded in the given encoding already. If copy is false, the native pointer is used directly as the new string's backing storage. Caution: TruffleString assumes the pointer's content to be immutable, do not modify the pointer's content after passing it to this operation!

WARNING: TruffleString cannot reason about the lifetime of the native pointer, so it is up to the user to make sure that the native pointer is valid to access and not freed as long the pointerObject is alive (if copy is false). To help with this the TruffleString keeps a reference to the given pointerObject, so the pointerObject is kept alive at least as long as the TruffleString is used. In order to be able to use the string past the native pointer's life time, convert it to a managed string via TruffleString.AsManagedNode before the native pointer is freed.

If copy is true, the pointer's contents are copied to a Java byte array, and the pointer can be freed safely after the operation completes.

This operation requires native access permissions (TruffleLanguage.Env#isNativeAccessAllowed()).
