Description

A streambuf class that controls the transmission of elements to and from a basic_ivectorstream, basic_ovectorstream or basic_vectorstream. It holds a character vector specified by CharVector template parameter as its formatting buffer. The vector must have contiguous storage, like std::vector, boost::interprocess::vector or boost::interprocess::basic_string

basic_vectorbuf public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit basic_vectorbuf(std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out);

    Constructor. Throws if vector_type default constructor throws.

  2. template<typename VectorParameter> 
      explicit basic_vectorbuf(const VectorParameter & param, 
                               std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out);

    Constructor. Throws if vector_type(const VectorParameter &param) throws.

basic_vectorbuf public member functions

  1. void swap_vector(vector_type & vect);

    Swaps the underlying vector with the passed vector. This function resets the read/write position in the stream. Does not throw.

  2. const vector_type & vector() const;

    Returns a const reference to the internal vector. Does not throw.

  3. void reserve(typename vector_type::size_type size);

    Preallocates memory from the internal vector. Resets the stream to the first position. Throws if the internals vector's memory allocation throws.

  4. void clear();

    Calls clear() method of the internal vector. Resets the stream to the first position.
