{
Please note: CFStrings are conceptually an array of Unicode characters.
However, in general, how a CFString stores this array is an implementation
detail. For instance, CFString might choose to use an array of 8-bit characters
to store its contents, or it might use multiple blocks of memory, or whatever.
This is especially true since CFString is toll-free bridged with NSString, enabling
any NSString instance to be used as a CFString. Furthermore, the implementation
may change depending on the default system encoding, the user's language, 
or even a release or update of the OS.

What this means is that you should use the following advanced functions with care:

  CFStringGetPascalStringPtr()
  CFStringGetCStringPtr()
  CFStringGetCharactersPtr()

These functions are provided for optimization only. They will either return the desired
pointer quickly, in constant time, or they return NULL. They might choose to return NULL
for many reasons; for instance it's possible that for users running in different
languages these sometimes return NULL; or in a future OS release the first two might
switch to always returning NULL. Never observing NULL returns in your usages of these
functions does not mean they won't ever return NULL. (But note the CFStringGetCharactersPtr()
exception mentioned further below.)

In your usages of these functions, if you get a NULL return, use the non-Ptr version
of the functions as shown in this example:

  Str255 buffer;
  StringPtr ptr = CFStringGetPascalStringPtr(str, encoding);
  if (ptr == NULL) (
      if (CFStringGetPascalString(str, buffer, 256, encoding)) ptr = buffer;
  )

Note that CFStringGetCString() or CFStringGetPascalString() calls might still fail --- but
that will happen in two circumstances only: The conversion from the UniChar contents of CFString
to the specified encoding fails, or the buffer is too small. If they fail, that means
the conversion was not possible.

If you need a copy of the buffer in the above example, you might consider simply
calling CFStringGetPascalString() in all cases --- CFStringGetPascalStringPtr()
is simply an optimization.

In addition, the following functions, which create immutable CFStrings from developer
supplied buffers without copying the buffers, might have to actually copy
under certain circumstances (If they do copy, the buffer will be dealt with by the
"contentsDeallocator" argument.):

  CFStringCreateWithPascalStringNoCopy()
  CFStringCreateWithCStringNoCopy()
  CFStringCreateWithCharactersNoCopy()

You should of course never depend on the backing store of these CFStrings being
what you provided, and in other no circumstance should you change the contents
of that buffer (given that would break the invariant about the CFString being immutable).

Having said all this, there are actually ways to create a CFString where the backing store
is external, and can be manipulated by the developer or CFString itself:

  CFStringCreateMutableWithExternalCharactersNoCopy()
  CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy()

A "contentsAllocator" is used to realloc or free the backing store by CFString.
kCFAllocatorNull can be provided to assure CFString will never realloc or free the buffer.
Developer can call CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy() to update
CFString's idea of what's going on, if the buffer is changed externally. In these
strings, CFStringGetCharactersPtr() is guaranteed to return the external buffer.

These functions are here to allow wrapping a buffer of UniChar characters in a CFString,
allowing the buffer to passed into CFString functions and also manipulated via CFString
mutation functions. In general, developers should not use this technique for all strings,
as it prevents CFString from using certain optimizations.

{ Macro to allow creation of compile-time constant strings; the argument should be a constant string.

CFSTR(), not being a "Copy" or "Create" function, does not return a new
reference for you. So, you should not release the return value. This is
much like constant C or Pascal strings --- when you use "hello world"
in a program, you do not free it.

However, strings returned from CFSTR() can be retained and released in a
properly nested fashion, just like any other CF type. That is, if you pass
a CFSTR() return value to a function such as SetMenuItemWithCFString(), the
function can retain it, then later, when it's done with it, it can release it.

#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED <= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5
At this point non-7 bit characters (that is, characters > 127) in CFSTR() are not 
supported and using them will lead to unpredictable results. This includes escaped
(\nnn) characters whose values are > 127. Even if it works for you in testing, 
it might not work for a user with a different language preference.
#else
Non-7 bit characters (that is, above 127) in CFSTR() are supported, although care must
be taken in dealing with files containing them. If you can trust your editor and tools
to deal with non-ASCII characters in the source code, then you can use them directly 
in CFSTR(); otherwise, you can represent such characters with their escaped octal 
equivalents in the encoding the compiler will use to interpret them (for instance, 
O-umlaut is \303\226 in UTF-8). UTF-8 is the recommended encoding here, 
since it is the default choice with Mac OS X developer tools.

	*** Pascal Usage of CFSTR et al ***
	
	For Pascal:
	
		To define your own constant CFStrings, call call CFSTRP with a 
		constant Pascal single-quoted string only, for example 
		CFSTRP('a constant string').

	For MetroWerks Pascal:
	
		Include the CFStringGlue file in your project (it defines the private function,
		CFSTRP0, which you should never call directly.
		
		In your uses clause, use CFString and CFStringGlue and whichever PInterface files
		defining the constant CFStrings (or define your own using CFSTRP('pascal string')).
	
	For GNU Pascal:
	
		Include the GPCMacros.inc file (for example $I GPCMacros.inc).
		
		In your uses clause, use CFString (and, optionally, CFStringGlue and the 
		PInterface files defining the constant CFStrings).
		
		You can optionally use CFSTR with a constant double-quoted C String (for example,
		CFSTR("a constant C string")) although it will make no difference, but will
		result in closer  C source code similarity.
	
	For maximum compatibility in both GPC and MetroWerks Pascal
	
		Include the GPCMacros.inc file in GPC as part of your GPC prefix.
		
		Include the CFStringGlue file in your MW project.
		
		Only ever use CFSTRP with a constant Pascal string.
		
		In your uses clause for a unit, use the CFString, CFStringGlue and any 
		PInterface files defining any constant CFStrings you need.

the buffer, specify kCFAllocatorNull here. As usual, NULL means default allocator.

NOTE: Do not count on these buffers as being used by the string; 
in some cases the CFString might free the buffer and use something else
(for instance if it decides to always use Unicode encoding internally). 

NOTE: If you are not transferring ownership of the buffer to the CFString
(for instance, you supplied contentsDeallocator = kCFAllocatorNull), it is your
responsibility to assure the buffer does not go away during the lifetime of the string.
If the string is retained or copied, its lifetime might extend in ways you cannot
predict. So, for strings created with buffers whose lifetimes you cannot
guarantee, you need to be extremely careful --- do not hand it out to any
APIs which might retain or copy the strings.
