Detailed Description

An object to which char sequences and values can be appended.

The Appendable interface must be implemented by any class whose instances are intended to receive formatted output from a Formatter.

TODO The characters to be appended should be valid Unicode characters as described in Unicode Character Representation. Note that supplementary characters may be composed of multiple 16-bit char values.

Appendables are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access. Thread safety is the responsibility of classes that extend and implement this interface.

Since this interface may be implemented by existing classes with different styles of error handling there is no guarantee that errors will be propagated to the invoker.

virtual

Member Function Documentation

virtual Appendable& decaf::lang::Appendable::append ( char  value )

pure virtual

Appends the specified character to this Appendable.

Parameters

value

The character to append.

Returns

a Reference to this Appendable

Exceptions

Exception

if an error occurs.

Implemented in decaf::io::Writer, and decaf::nio::CharBuffer.

virtual Appendable& decaf::lang::Appendable::append ( const CharSequence *  csq )

pure virtual

Appends the specified character sequence to this Appendable.

Parameters

csq	The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If csq is NULL, then characters will be appended as if csq contained the string "null".

Returns

a Reference to this Appendable.

Exceptions

Exception

if an error occurs.

Implemented in decaf::io::Writer, and decaf::nio::CharBuffer.

virtual Appendable& decaf::lang::Appendable::append ( const CharSequence *  csq, int  start, int  end  )

pure virtual

Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this Appendable.

Parameters

csq	- The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If csq is NULL, then characters will be appended as if csq contained the string "null".
start	The index of the first character in the subsequence.
end	The index of the character following the last character in the subsequence.

Returns

a Reference to this Appendable

Exceptions

Exception	if an error occurs.
IndexOutOfBoundsException	start is greater than end, or end is greater than csq.length()

Implemented in decaf::nio::CharBuffer, and decaf::io::Writer.
