buffer (26 of 32 overloads)

Create a new non-modifiable buffer that represents the given POD vector.

template<
    typename PodType,
    typename Allocator>
const_buffer buffer(
    const std::vector< PodType, Allocator > & data,
    std::size_t max_size_in_bytes);
Return Value

A const_buffer value equivalent to:

const_buffer(
    data.size() ? &data[0] : 0,
    min(data.size() * sizeof(PodType), max_size_in_bytes));
Remarks

The buffer is invalidated by any vector operation that would also invalidate iterators.
