Detailed Description

A BlobLite holds a pointer to an immutable pre-allocated buffer and its length This is like a JavaScript string which is a pointer to an immutable string.

It is OK to pass a pointer to the string because the new owner can't change the bytes of the string. However, like a JavaScript string, it is possible to change the pointer, and so this does allow the copy constructor and assignment to change the pointer. Also remember that the pointer can be null.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ndn::BlobLite::BlobLite	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	size
	)

Create a BlobLite with the given buffer.

Parameters

buf	The pre-allocated buffer for the value, or 0 for none.
size	The number of bytes in buf.

Member Function Documentation

static BlobLite& ndn::BlobLite::downCast ( ndn_Blob &  blob )

inlinestatic

Downcast the reference to the ndn_Blob struct to a BlobLite.

Parameters

blob	A reference to the ndn_Blob struct.

Returns

The same reference as BlobLite.

bool ndn::BlobLite::isNull ( ) const

inline

Check if the array pointer is null.

Returns

true if the buffer pointer is null, otherwise false.
