The model is that the enumeration is over strings maintained by * a 'service.' At any point, the service might change, invalidating * the enumerator (though this is expected to be rare). The iterator * returns an error if this has occurred. Lack of the error is no * guarantee that the service didn't change immediately after the * call, so the returned string still might not be 'valid' on * subsequent use.
* *Strings may take the form of const char*, const char16_t*, or const * UnicodeString*. The type you get is determine by the variant of * 'next' that you call. In general the StringEnumeration is * optimized for one of these types, but all StringEnumerations can * return all types. Returned strings are each terminated with a NUL. * Depending on the service data, they might also include embedded NUL * characters, so API is provided to optionally return the true * length, counting the embedded NULs but not counting the terminating * NUL.
* *The pointers returned by next, unext, and snext become invalid * upon any subsequent call to the enumeration's destructor, next, * unext, snext, or reset.
