Detailed Description

This class is a helper class for reading the buffer stored in the raw data format.

The raw data format specifies that the buffer for all data is a specific type (vector of bytes), but the users in different subsystems/translators may want the buffer to be read in different size words than single bytes. This class helps in that translation.

BufferReader r{data}; // data is some vector of bytes
r >> obj; // obj is some object with a Reader& read(Reader&) method

Member Function Documentation

good()

bool pflib::packing::BufferReader::good ( ) const

overridevirtual

read()

Reader & pflib::packing::BufferReader::read ( char * w, std::size_t count )

overridevirtual

read the next count bytes into array w and move the index

Implements pflib::packing::Reader.

seek()

void pflib::packing::BufferReader::seek ( int off )

overridevirtual

go to the index off in bytes

Implements pflib::packing::Reader.

tell()

int pflib::packing::BufferReader::tell ( )

overridevirtual

return where in the word we are in bytes

Implements pflib::packing::Reader.
