Detailed Description

Efficiently reads an arbitrarily 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

inline

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

inline

Returns the number of characters replaced during a read.

size_t ACE_Read_Buffer::size ( void  ) const

inline

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