static_buffer

A circular DynamicBuffer with a fixed size internal buffer.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/beast/core/static_buffer.hpp>

template<
    std::size_t N>
class static_buffer :
    public static_buffer_base

Types

Name	Description
const_buffers_type	The type used to represent the input sequence as a list of buffers.
mutable_buffers_type	The type used to represent the output sequence as a list of buffers.

Member Functions

Name	Description
base	Returns the static_buffer_base portion of this object.
capacity	Return the maximum sum of input and output sizes that can be held without an allocation.
commit	Move bytes from the output sequence to the input sequence.
consume	Remove bytes from the input sequence.
data	Get a list of buffers that represent the input sequence.
max_size	Return the maximum sum of the input and output sequence sizes.
operator=	Assignment.
prepare	Get a list of buffers that represent the output sequence, with the given size.
size	Return the size of the input sequence.
static_buffer	Constructor.

Protected Member Functions

Name	Description
reset	Reset the pointed-to buffer.

Description

This implements a circular dynamic buffer. Calls to static_buffer::prepare never require moving memory. The buffer sequences returned may be up to length two. Ownership of the underlying storage belongs to the derived class.

Template Parameters

Type	Description
`N`	The number of bytes in the internal buffer.

Remarks

To reduce the number of template instantiations when passing objects of this type in a deduced context, the signature of the receiving function should use static_buffer_base instead.
