Swift Standard Library: transcode

Posted on October 7, 2014 by idz

Swift Standard Library: transcode The transcode function lets to convert strings from one Unicode encoding to another, for example UTF16 to UTF8. The definition you get when you command-click on the function is quite intimidating:

/*
func transcode<         Input : GeneratorType,
                       Output : SinkType,
                InputEncoding : UnicodeCodecType,
               OutputEncoding : UnicodeCodecType
    where 

       InputEncoding.CodeUnit == InputEncoding.CodeUnit,
      OutputEncoding.CodeUnit == OutputEncoding.CodeUnit>

                (inputEncoding: InputEncoding.Type,
                outputEncoding: OutputEncoding.Type, 
                         input: Input, 
                        output: Output, 
                  #stopOnError: Bool) -> (Bool)
*/

func transcode< Input : GeneratorType,

Output : SinkType,

InputEncoding : UnicodeCodecType,

OutputEncoding : UnicodeCodecType

where

InputEncoding.CodeUnit == InputEncoding.CodeUnit,

OutputEncoding.CodeUnit == OutputEncoding.CodeUnit>

(inputEncoding: InputEncoding.Type,

outputEncoding: OutputEncoding.Type,

input: Input,

output: Output,

#stopOnError: Bool) -> (Bool)

It is also incorrect; … Continue reading →
