Introduction
If you have used the std::string
and C-style string, you must think the std::string
is so convenient in memory management. You can append/delete chars in any way without considering about the memory allocation. But there isn't any class for a byte stream in the std library. So, here's an implementation for a byte stream. I often use it when using Windows APIs, such as those for file operation, network, etc.
Usage
Here's the test code, I think it's so simple that a detailed explanation is not needed:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "Easiware\DataChunk.h"
void main()
{
Easiware::Memory::CDataChunk dc;
dc << 100
<< "test"
<< true;
int i;
std::string s;
bool b;
dc >> i >> s >> b;
cout << i << endl
<< s << endl
<< b << endl;
}
Others
I wrote the code just after reading the book << Exceptional C++ >>, so I think this can be called an Exception-Safe class :). Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for any advice. Finally, thanks for reading this article, and sorry for my poor English.
