Detailed Description

Writes data to an internal memory buffer, which grows as required.

The data that was written into the stream can then be accessed later as a contiguous block of memory.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MemoryOutputStream::MemoryOutputStream ( size_t  initialSize = 256)

Creates an empty memory stream, ready to be written into.

Parameters
initialSizethe intial amount of capacity to allocate for writing into
MemoryOutputStream::MemoryOutputStream ( MemoryBlock memoryBlockToWriteTo,
bool  appendToExistingBlockContent 
)

Creates a memory stream for writing into into a pre-existing MemoryBlock object.

Note that the destination block will always be larger than the amount of data that has been written to the stream, because the MemoryOutputStream keeps some spare capactity at its end. To trim the block's size down to fit the actual data, call flush(), or delete the MemoryOutputStream.

Parameters
memoryBlockToWriteTothe block into which new data will be written.
appendToExistingBlockContentif this is true, the contents of the block will be kept, and new data will be appended to it. If false, the block will be cleared before use
MemoryOutputStream::MemoryOutputStream ( void *  destBuffer,
size_t  destBufferSize 
)

Creates a MemoryOutputStream that will write into a user-supplied, fixed-size block of memory.

When using this mode, the stream will write directly into this memory area until it's full, at which point write operations will fail.

MemoryOutputStream::~MemoryOutputStream ( )

Destructor.

This will free any data that was written to it.

Member Function Documentation

const void* MemoryOutputStream::getData ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a pointer to the data that has been written to the stream.

See also
getDataSize
size_t MemoryOutputStream::getDataSize ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the number of bytes of data that have been written to the stream.

See also
getData

References OutputStream::flush(), toString(), and OutputStream::write().

void MemoryOutputStream::reset ( )
noexcept

Resets the stream, clearing any data that has been written to it so far.

void MemoryOutputStream::preallocate ( size_t  bytesToPreallocate)

Increases the internal storage capacity to be able to contain at least the specified amount of data without needing to be resized.

bool MemoryOutputStream::appendUTF8Char ( juce_wchar  character)

Appends the utf-8 bytes for a unicode character.

String MemoryOutputStream::toUTF8 ( ) const

Returns a String created from the (UTF8) data that has been written to the stream.

String MemoryOutputStream::toString ( ) const

Attempts to detect the encoding of the data and convert it to a string.

See also
String::createStringFromData

Referenced by CppTokeniserFunctions::addEscapeChars().

MemoryBlock MemoryOutputStream::getMemoryBlock ( ) const

Returns a copy of the stream's data as a memory block.

void MemoryOutputStream::flush ( )
overridevirtual

If the stream is writing to a user-supplied MemoryBlock, this will trim any excess capacity off the block, so that its length matches the amount of actual data that has been written so far.

Implements OutputStream.

bool MemoryOutputStream::write ( const void *  dataToWrite,
size_t  numberOfBytes 
)
overridevirtual

Writes a block of data to the stream.

When creating a subclass of OutputStream, this is the only write method that needs to be overloaded - the base class has methods for writing other types of data which use this to do the work.

Parameters
dataToWritethe target buffer to receive the data. This must not be null.
numberOfBytesthe number of bytes to write.
Returns
false if the write operation fails for some reason

Implements OutputStream.

int64 MemoryOutputStream::getPosition ( )
overridevirtual
bool MemoryOutputStream::setPosition ( int64  newPosition)
overridevirtual

Tries to move the stream's output position.

Not all streams will be able to seek to a new position - this will return false if it fails to work.

See also
getPosition

Implements OutputStream.

int64 MemoryOutputStream::writeFromInputStream ( InputStream source,
int64  maxNumBytesToWrite 
)
overridevirtual

Reads data from an input stream and writes it to this stream.

Parameters
sourcethe stream to read from
maxNumBytesToWritethe number of bytes to read from the stream (if this is less than zero, it will keep reading until the input is exhausted)
Returns
the number of bytes written

Reimplemented from OutputStream.

bool MemoryOutputStream::writeRepeatedByte ( uint8  byte,
size_t  numTimesToRepeat 
)
overridevirtual

Writes a byte to the output stream a given number of times.

Returns
false if the write operation fails for some reason

Reimplemented from OutputStream.
