I want to know variable size in memory. For example, say I have
an UTF-8 string of only 2 characters, but each of them takes 2
bytes. string length would be 2, but the content of the string
would take 4 bytes in memory (excluding overhead for type size).
As said, the byte count is indeed string.length.
The number of code points can be found by std.range.walkLength,
but be aware it takes O(answer) time to compute.
Example:
-----
import std.range, std.stdio;
void main () {
auto s = "Привет!";
writeln (s.length); // 13 bytes
writeln (s.walkLength); // 7 code points
}
