Class IndexableBinaryStringTools

Provides support for converting byte sequences to System.Strings and back again. The resulting System.Strings preserve the original byte sequences' sort order.

The System.Strings are constructed using a Base 8000h encoding of the original binary data - each char of an encoded System.String represents a 15-bit chunk from the byte sequence. Base 8000h was chosen because it allows for all lower 15 bits of char to be used without restriction; the surrogate range [U+D8000-U+DFFF] does not represent valid chars, and would require complicated handling to avoid them and allow use of char's high bit.

Although unset bits are used as padding in the final char, the original byte sequence could contain trailing bytes with no set bits (null bytes): padding is indistinguishable from valid information. To overcome this problem, a char is appended, indicating the number of encoded bytes in the final content char.

Decode(Char[], Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Decodes the input System.Char sequence into the output System.Byte sequence. Before calling this method, ensure that the output array has sufficient capacity by calling GetDecodedLength(Char[], Int32, Int32).

Declaration

public static void Decode(char[] inputArray, int inputOffset, int inputLength, byte[] outputArray, int outputOffset, int outputLength)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Char[]	inputArray	System.Char sequence to be decoded
System.Int32	inputOffset	Initial offset into `inputArray`
System.Int32	inputLength	Number of chars in `inputArray`
System.Byte[]	outputArray	System.Byte sequence to store encoded result
System.Int32	outputOffset	Initial offset into outputArray
System.Int32	outputLength	Length of output, must be GetDecodedLength(inputArray, inputOffset, inputLength)
