Function setString [src]

Set self from the string representation value. value must contain only digits <= base and is case insensitive. Base prefixes are not allowed (e.g. 0x43 should simply be 43). Underscores in the input string are ignored and can be used as digit separators. Returns an error if memory could not be allocated or value has invalid digits for the requested base. self's allocator is used for temporary storage to boost multiplication performance.

Prototype

pub fn setString(self: *Managed, base: u8, value: []const u8) !void

Parameters

self: *Managedbase: u8value: []const u8

Source

  pub fn setString(self: *Managed, base: u8, value: []const u8) !void {
    if (base < 2 or base > 36) return error.InvalidBase;
    try self.ensureCapacity(calcSetStringLimbCount(base, value.len));
    const limbs_buffer = try self.allocator.alloc(Limb, calcSetStringLimbsBufferLen(base, value.len));
    defer self.allocator.free(limbs_buffer);
    var m = self.toMutable();
    try m.setString(base, value, limbs_buffer, self.allocator);
    self.setMetadata(m.positive, m.len);
