The variablebuffer class can be used to store raw data of arbitrary length.
The class allocates a buffer internally of either a default or specified initial size. If a write or append operation would exceed the size of the existing buffer, then it is grown by a multiple of either a default or specified incremental size. This growth is accomplished by allocating a new, larger buffer and copying the contents of the old buffer into it along with whatever data was written or appended.
If the buffer is cleared, then if the existing buffer has grown beyond its initial size then it is deleted and a new buffer is allocated using the initial size. However if the buffer has not grown then no action is taken except to reset the internal position pointers.
It is generally more efficient to reuse the same variablebuffer over and over than to allocate a new one for each operation.
variablebuffer::variablebuffer | ( | size_t | initialsize, |
