Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class eq::base::Buffer< T >

A simple memory buffer with some helper functions.

For bigger data (>100k) using a std::vector< uint8_t > has a high overhead when resizing (>1ms). This buffer just memcpy's elements, i.e., it should only be used for PODs since the copy constructor or assignment operator is not called on the copied elements. Primarily used for binary data, e.g., in eq::Image. The implementation works like a pool, that is, data is only released when the buffer is deleted or clear() is called.

Referenced by eq::base::Buffer< pollfd >::operator=().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

template<typename T>
T* eq::base::Buffer< T >::reserve ( const uint64_t  newSize ) [inline]

Ensure that the buffer contains at least newSize elements.

Existing data may be deleted.

Returns:
the new pointer to the first element.
Version:
1.0

Definition at line 114 of file buffer.h.

Referenced by eq::base::Buffer< pollfd >::replace().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

template<typename T>
T* eq::base::Buffer< T >::resize ( const uint64_t  newSize ) [inline]

Ensure that the buffer contains at least newSize elements.

Existing data is retained. The size is set.

Returns:
the new pointer to the first element.
Version:
1.0

Definition at line 83 of file buffer.h.

Referenced by eq::base::Buffer< pollfd >::append(), eq::base::Buffer< pollfd >::Buffer(), and eq::base::Buffer< pollfd >::grow().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

template<typename T>
bool eq::base::Buffer< T >::setSize ( const uint64_t  size ) [inline]
