## Public Member Functions
DLLLOCAL | QoreStringValueHelper (const AbstractQoreNode *n)
| creates the object and acquires a pointer to the QoreString representation of the AbstractQoreNode passed

DLLLOCAL | ~QoreStringValueHelper ()
| destroys the object and deletes the QoreString pointer being managed if it was a temporary pointer
DLLLOCAL QoreString * | giveString ()
| returns a copy of the QoreString that the caller owns More...
DLLLOCAL bool | is_temp () const
| returns true if the pointer being managed is temporary

## Detailed Description

this class is used to safely manage calls to AbstractQoreNode::getStringRepresentation() when a simple QoreString value is needed, stack only, may not be dynamically allocated

the QoreString value returned by this function is managed safely in an exception-safe way with this class

QoreStringValueHelper str(n);
printf("str='%s'\n", str->getBuffer());

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DLLLOCAL QoreStringValueHelper::QoreStringValueHelper | ( | const AbstractQoreNode * | n,
|  | const QoreEncoding * | enc,
|  | ExceptionSink * | xsink
| ) |  |
| inline

gets the QoreString representation and ensures that it's in the desired encoding

a Qore-language exception may be thrown if an encoding error occurs

// get a QoreString value from "node" and ensure it's in UTF-8 encoding
QoreStringValueHelper t(node, QCS_UTF8, xsink);
// return if there was an exception converting the encoding to UTF-8
if (*xsink)
return 0;
// use the string value
return new MStringData(t->getBuffer(), MEncoding::M_ASCII);
