Detailed Description

Efficiently reads an artibrarily large buffer from an input stream up to and including a termination character. Also performs search/replace on single occurrences a character in the buffer using the principles of Integrated Layer Processing.

This implementation is optimized to do a single dynamic allocation and make only one copy of the data. It uses recursion and the run-time stack to accomplish this efficiently.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Read_Buffer::ACE_Read_Buffer ( FILE *  fp,
bool  close_on_delete = false,
ACE_Allocator alloc = 0 
)

Read from a FILE *.

ACE_Read_Buffer::ACE_Read_Buffer ( ACE_HANDLE  handle,
bool  close_on_delete = false,
ACE_Allocator alloc = 0 
)

Read from an open HANDLE.

ACE_Read_Buffer::~ACE_Read_Buffer ( void   ) 

Closes the FILE *.

ACE_Read_Buffer::ACE_Read_Buffer ( const ACE_Read_Buffer  )  [private]


Member Function Documentation

ACE_Allocator * ACE_Read_Buffer::alloc ( void   )  const

Returns a pointer to its allocator.

void ACE_Read_Buffer::dump ( void   )  const

Dump the state of the object.

void ACE_Read_Buffer::operator= ( const ACE_Read_Buffer  )  [private]

char * ACE_Read_Buffer::read ( int  terminator = EOF,
int  search = '\n',
int  replace = '\0' 
)

Returns a pointer dynamically allocated with ACE_Allocator::malloc to data from the input stream up to (and including) the terminator. If search is >= 0 then all occurrences of the search value are substituted with the replace value. The last of the byte of data is a 0, so that strlen can be used on it. The caller is responsible for freeing the pointer returned from this method using the ACE_Allocator::free.

char * ACE_Read_Buffer::rec_read ( int  term,
int  search,
int  replace 
) [private]

Recursive helper method that does the work...

size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::replaced ( void   )  const

Returns the number of characters replaced during a read.

size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::size ( void   )  const

Returns the size of the allocated buffer obtained during a read, not including the null terminator.


Member Data Documentation

Pointer to the allocator.

bool const ACE_Read_Buffer::close_on_delete_ [private]

Keeps track of whether we should close the FILE in the destructor.

The total number of characters replaced.

size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::size_ [private]

The total number of characters in the buffer.

FILE* ACE_Read_Buffer::stream_ [private]

The stream we are reading from.
