flat_buffer

Synopsis

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

using flat_buffer = basic_flat_buffer< std::allocator< char >>;
Types

Name

Description

allocator_type

The type of allocator used.

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

basic_flat_buffer

Constructor.

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.

get_allocator

Returns a copy of the associated allocator.

max_size

Return the maximum sum of the input and output sequence sizes.

operator=

Assignment.

Copy assignment.

prepare

Get a list of buffers that represent the output sequence, with the given size.

shrink_to_fit

Reallocate the buffer to fit the input sequence.

size

Returns the size of the input sequence.

~basic_flat_buffer

Destructor.

Friends

Name

Description

swap

Exchange two flat buffers.

Objects of this type meet the requirements of DynamicBuffer and offer additional invariants:

Upon construction, a maximum size for the buffer may be specified. If this limit is exceeded, the std::length_error exception will be thrown.

Remarks

This class is designed for use with algorithms that take dynamic buffers as parameters, and are optimized for the case where the input sequence or output sequence is stored in a single contiguous buffer.
