encode

Encodes c into the static array, buf, and returns the actual length of the encoded character (a number between 1 and 4 for char[4] buffers and a number between 1 and 2 for wchar[2] buffers).

Throws

UTFException if c is not a valid UTF code point.

Examples

import std.exception : assertThrown;
import std.typecons : Yes;

char[4] buf;

assert(encode(buf, '\u0000') == 1 && buf[0 .. 1] == "\u0000");
assert(encode(buf, '\u007F') == 1 && buf[0 .. 1] == "\u007F");
assert(encode(buf, '\u0080') == 2 && buf[0 .. 2] == "\u0080");
assert(encode(buf, '\uE000') == 3 && buf[0 .. 3] == "\uE000");
assert(encode(buf, 0xFFFE) == 3 && buf[0 .. 3] == "\xEF\xBF\xBE");
assertThrown!UTFException(encode(buf, cast(dchar) 0x110000));

encode!(Yes.useReplacementDchar)(buf, cast(dchar) 0x110000);
auto slice = buf[];
assert(slice.decodeFront == replacementDchar);
import std.exception : assertThrown;
import std.typecons : Yes;
