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,
int  close_on_delete = 0,
ACE_Allocator = 0
 

Read from a FILE *.

ACE_Read_Buffer::ACE_Read_Buffer ACE_HANDLE  handle,
int  close_on_delete = 0,
ACE_Allocator = 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_INLINE ACE_Allocator * ACE_Read_Buffer::alloc void   )  const
 

Returns a pointer to its allocator.

ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL 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...

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::replaced void   )  const
 

Returns the number of characters replaced during a <read>.

ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::size void   )  const
 

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

size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::size_ [private]
 

The total number of characters in the buffer.
