Luna::get_name_size

usize get_name_size(const c8 *name)

Fetches the size of the name string.

Parameters

• in name

  The pointer of the string.

Return value

Returns the size of the name. Returns 0 if name is nullptr.

Remark

Note that the size returned is not always equal to the size returnd by strlen, since the string that contains the null terminator is allowed as a name, so always fetches the name size using this API.

The size of the name is cached in the system, so this call returns in constant time.

Valid Usage

• If name is not nullptr, it must be a string pointer returned by intern_name.
