# A.4.8 Wide_Wide_String Handling

1/3
Facilities for handling strings of Wide_Wide_Character elements are found in the packages Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps, Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed, Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded, Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded, and Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Constants, and in the library functions Strings.Wide_Wide_Hash, Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed.Wide_Wide_Hash, Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded.Wide_Wide_Hash, Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Wide_Hash, Strings.Wide_Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed.Wide_Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded.Wide_Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Equal_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed.Wide_Wide_Equal_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded.Wide_Wide_Equal_Case_Insensitive, and Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Wide_Equal_Case_Insensitive. They provide the same string-handling operations as the corresponding packages and functions for strings of Character elements.

28/2
The context clause for each of the packages Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed, Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded, and Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded identifies Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps instead of Strings.Maps.
28.1/3
Types Wide_Wide_Character_Set and Wide_Wide_Character_Mapping need finalization.
29/3
For each of the packages Strings.Fixed, Strings.Bounded, Strings.Unbounded, and Strings.Maps.Constants, and for library functions Strings.Hash, Strings.Fixed.Hash, Strings.Bounded.Hash, Strings.Unbounded.Hash, Strings.Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Fixed.Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Bounded.Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Unbounded.Hash_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Equal_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Fixed.Equal_Case_Insensitive, Strings.Bounded.Equal_Case_Insensitive, and Strings.Unbounded.Equal_Case_Insensitive, the corresponding wide wide string package or function has the same contents except that

47/2
The following additional declarations are present in Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Constants:
48/2
Character_Set : constant Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Character_Set;
-- Contains each Wide_Wide_Character value WWC such that
-- Characters.Conversions.Is_Character(WWC) is True
Wide_Character_Set : constant Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Character_Set;
-- Contains each Wide_Wide_Character value WWC such that
-- Characters.Conversions.Is_Wide_Character(WWC) is True
49/2
Each Wide_Wide_Character_Set constant in the package Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Constants contains no values outside the Character portion of Wide_Wide_Character. Similarly, each Wide_Wide_Character_Mapping constant in this package is the identity mapping when applied to any element outside the Character portion of Wide_Wide_Character.
50/5
Aspect Pure is replaced by aspects `Preelaborate, Nonblocking, Global => in out synchronized` in Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps.Wide_Wide_Constants.
51/2
NOTE If a null Wide_Wide_Character_Mapping_Function is passed to any of the Wide_Wide_String handling subprograms, Constraint_Error is propagated.
