// FILE: StdString.h
// AUTHOR: Joe O'Leary (with outside help noted in comments)
// REMARKS:
// This header file declares the CStdStr template. This template derives
// the Standard C++ Library basic_string<> template and add to it the
// the following conveniences:
// - The full MFC CString set of functions (including implicit cast)
// - writing to/reading from COM IStream interfaces
// - Functional objects for use in STL algorithms
//
// From this template, we intstantiate two classes: CStdStringA and
// CStdStringW. The name "CStdString" is just a #define of one of these,
// based upone the _UNICODE macro setting
//
// This header also declares our own version of the MFC/ATL UNICODE-MBCS
// conversion macros. Our version looks exactly like the Microsoft's to
// facilitate portability.
//
// NOTE:Download by http://www.codefans.net
// If you you use this in an MFC or ATL build, you should include either
// afx.h or atlbase.h first, as appropriate.
//
// PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CLASS:
//
// Several people have helped me iron out problems and othewise improve
// this class. OK, this is a long list but in my own defense, this code
// has undergone two major rewrites. Many of the improvements became
// necessary after I rewrote the code as a template. Others helped me
// improve the CString facade.
//
// Anyway, these people are (in chronological order):
//
// - Pete the Plumber (???)
// - Julian Selman
// - Chris (of Melbsys)
// - Dave Plummer
// - John C Sipos
// - Chris Sells

// REVISION HISTORY
// 2002-FEB-25 - Thanks to Tim Dowty for pointing out (and giving me the fix
// for) a conversion problem with non-ASCII MBCS characters.
// CStdString is now used in my favorite commercial MP3 player!
// 2001-DEC-06 - Thanks to Wang Haifeng for spotting a problem in one of the
// assignment operators (for _bstr_t) that would cause compiler
// errors when refcounting protection was turned off.
// 2001-NOV-27 - Remove calls to operator!= which involve reverse_iterators
// due to a conflict with the rel_ops operator!=. Thanks to
// John James for pointing this out.
// 2001-OCT-29 - Added a minor range checking fix for the Mid function to
// make it as forgiving as CString's version is. Thanks to
// Igor Kholodov for noticing this.
// - Added a specialization of std::swap for CStdString. Thanks
// to Mike Crusader for suggesting this! It's commented out
// because you're not supposed to inject your own code into the
// 'std' namespace. But if you don't care about that, it's
// there if you want it
// - Thanks to Jason Mills for catching a case where CString was
// more forgiving in the Delete() function than I was.
// 2001-JUN-06 - I was violating the Standard name lookup rules stated
// in [14.6.2(3)]. None of the compilers I've tried so
// far apparently caught this but HP-UX aCC 3.30 did. The
// fix was to add 'this->' prefixes in many places.
// Thanks to Farrokh Nejadlotfi for this!
//
// 2001-APR-27 - StreamLoad was calculating the number of BYTES in one
// case, not characters. Thanks to Pablo Presedo for this.
//
// 2001-FEB-23 - Replace() had a bug which caused infinite loops if the
// source string was empty. Fixed thanks to Eric Nitzsche.
//
// 2001-FEB-23 - Scott Hathaway was a huge help in providing me with the
// ability to build CStdString on Sun Unix systems. He
// sent me detailed build reports about what works and what
// does not. If CStdString compiles on your Unix box, you
// can thank Scott for it.
//
// 2000-DEC-29 - Joldakowski noticed one overload of Insert failed to do
// range check as CString's does. Now fixed -- thanks!
//
// 2000-NOV-07 - Aaron pointed out that I was calling static member
// functions of char_traits via a temporary. This was not
// technically wrong, but it was unnecessary and caused
// problems for poor old buggy VC5. Thanks Aaron!
//
// 2000-JUL-11 - Joe Woodbury noted that the CString::Find docs don't match
// what the CString::Find code really ends up doing. I was
// trying to match the docs. Now I match the CString code
// - Joe also caught me truncating strings for GetBuffer() calls
// when the supplied length was less than the current length.
//
// 2000-MAY-25 - Better support for STLPORT's Standard library distribution
// - Got rid of the NSP macro - it interfered with Koenig lookup
// - Thanks to Joe Woodbury for catching a TrimLeft() bug that
// I introduced in January. Empty strings were not getting
// trimmed
//
// 2000-APR-17 - Thanks to Joe Vitaterna for pointing out that ReverseFind
// is supposed to be a const function.
//
// 2000-MAR-07 - Thanks to Ullrich Poll�hne for catching a range bug in one
// of the overloads of assign.
//
// 2000-FEB-01 - You can now use CStdString on the Mac with CodeWarrior!
// Thanks to Todd Heckel for helping out with this.
//
// 2000-JAN-23 - Thanks to Jim Cline for pointing out how I could make the
// Trim() function more efficient.
// - Thanks to Jeff Kohn for prompting me to find and fix a typo
// in one of the addition operators that takes _bstr_t.
// - Got rid of the .CPP file - you only need StdString.h now!
//
// 1999-DEC-22 - Thanks to Greg Pickles for helping me identify a problem
// with my implementation of CStdString::FormatV in which
// resulting string might not be properly NULL terminated.
//
// 1999-DEC-06 - Chris Conti pointed yet another basic_string<> assignment
// bug that MS has not fixed. CStdString did nothing to fix
// it either but it does now! The bug was: create a string
// longer than 31 characters, get a pointer to it (via c_str())
// and then assign that pointer to the original string object.
// The resulting string would be empty. Not with CStdString!
//
// 1999-OCT-06 - BufferSet was erasing the string even when it was merely
// supposed to shrink it. Fixed. Thanks to Chris Conti.
// - Some of the Q172398 fixes were not checking for assignment-
// to-self. Fixed. Thanks to Baptiste Lepilleur.
//
// 1999-AUG-20 - Improved Load() function to be more efficient by using
// SizeOfResource(). Thanks to Rich Zuris for this.
// - Corrected resource ID constructor, again thanks to Rich.
// - Fixed a bug that occurred with UNICODE characters above
// the first 255 ANSI ones. Thanks to Craig Watson.
// - Added missing overloads of TrimLeft() and TrimRight().
// Thanks to Karim Ratib for pointing them out
//
// 1999-JUL-21 - Made all calls to GetBuf() with no args check length first.
//
// 1999-JUL-10 - Improved MFC/ATL independence of conversion macros
// - Added SS_NO_REFCOUNT macro to allow you to disable any
// reference-counting your basic_string<> impl. may do.
// - Improved ReleaseBuffer() to be as forgiving as CString.
// Thanks for Fan Xia for helping me find this and to
// Matthew Williams for pointing
