Stream

 

class Stream

Stream is the base class of all U++ streams.

U++ streams generally serve in two different roles:

As basic raw binary streams, which includes text input and output.

As binary serialization target/source. This mainly needs to store flag indicating serialization direction.

 

While Stream offers a basic interface for stream based operations, more specific operations are handled by one of the following classes derived from Stream:

 

Stream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

StringStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MemStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MemReadStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

BufferStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BlockStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FileStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FileIn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FileOut

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FileAppend

 

 

 

 

 

SizeStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CompareStream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to achieve optimal performance of buffered stream operations, the most frequent operations have a little bit more complicated implementation that demands proper definition of virtual methods, as they must correctly adjust some protected data members of Stream. Therefore the implementation of some method can be considered a part of interface definition:

 

void  Stream::Put(int c)

{

    if(ptr < wrlim)

        *ptr++ = c;

    else

        _Put(c);

}

 

int  Stream::Term()

{

    return ptr < rdlim ? *ptr : _Term();

}

 

int  Stream::Get()

{

    return ptr < rdlim ? *ptr++ : _Get();

}

 

int64 Stream::GetPos() const

{

    return dword(ptr - buffer) + pos;

}

 

 

Protected members

 

int64 pos

Protected.

Position of buffer in the stream.

 


 

byte *buffer

Protected.

Pointer to beginning of buffer.

 


 

byte *ptr

Protected.

Pointer to current input/output byte.

 


 

byte *rdlim

Protected.

Read limit. Get method returns values from buffer as long as ptr < rdlim.

 


 

byte *wrlim

Protected.

Write limit. Put method returns values from buffer as long as ptr < wrlim.

 


 

virtual void _Put(int w)

Called by Put method in case that output byte cannot be stored into buffer (ptr >= wrlim). If Stream wants to use buffering, this method should adjust buffer, ptr and wrlim.

w

Byte to store.

 


 

virtual int _Term()

Called by Term method in case that input byte is not in buffer (ptr >= rdlim). If Stream wants to use buffering, this method should adjust buffer, ptr and rdlim.

Return value

Value at current position in the stream. Current position is not advanced.

 


 

virtual int _Get()

Called by Get method in case that input byte is not in buffer (ptr >= rdlim). If Stream wants to use buffering, this method should adjust buffer, ptr and rdlim.

Return value

Value read from the stream.

 


 

virtual void _Put(const void *data, dword size)

Directly called by Put method. Writes a block of binary data.

data

Pointer to data.

size

Size.

 


 

virtual dword _Get(void *data, dword size)

Directly called by Get method.

data

Public Member List: Raw Operations

 

virtual void Seek(int64 pos)

Seeks to given position.

pos

Position.

 


 

void SetVersion(int ver)

Sets the arbitrary number ver to the stream. Client code can use it in any way it needs, but it is designed to store the the version information during serialization.

 


 

int GetVersion() const

Reads the number set by SetVersion.

 


 

virtual int64 GetSize() const

Return value

Size of stream.

 


 

virtual void SetSize(int64 size)

Alters the size of the stream.

size

New size.

 


 

virtual void Flush()

If stream has any internal buffers (like FileStream), writes these buffers to OS.

 


 

virtual void Close()

Closes stream.

 


 

virtual bool IsOpen() const = 0

Return value

true if stream is open.

 


 

bool IsError() const

Return value

true if error was encountered during stream operations since opening it or last ClearError call - error code is non-zero.

 


 

bool IsOK() const

Return value

!IsError().

 


 

void SetError(int c = 0)

Sets stream error code.

c

Error code.

 


 

void SetLastError()

Sets stream error to last OS-specific error (obtained e.g. by GetLastError call in Win32 or in errno in Posix). This error can be interpreted by GetErrorMessage function.

 


 

int GetError() const

Returns current error-code. Zero indicates no error.

 


 

String GetErrorText() const

Returns the text description of the last error.

 


 

void ClearError()

Clears error code.

 


 

int64 GetPos() const

Return value

Current position in the stream.

 


 

int64 GetLeft() const

Return value

Bytes between current position and the end of stream - equivalent to GetSize() - GetPos().

 


 

void SeekEnd(int64 rel = 0)

Sets current position in the stream relative to the end of stream. Same as Seek(GetSize() + rel).

rel

Position - should be less or equal to zero.

 


 

void SeekCur(int64 rel)

Sets current position in the stream relative to the current position. Same as Seek(GetPos() + rel).

rel

Relative offset.

 


 

bool IsEof()

There are no more byte to be read from the stream. Is also true in case of error.

 


 

void Put(int c)

Puts single byte into the output stream.

c

Byte.

 


 

int Term()

int Peek()

Peeks byte from input stream not advancing current position. If there are no more bytes in input stream or error occurred, negative value is returned.

 


 

int Get()

Reads single byte from input stream, advancing current position. If there are no more bytes in input stream or error occurred, negative value is returned.

Return value

Byte read from input stream.

 


 

const byte *PeekPtr(int size = 1)

This is a special optimization method; it might return a pointer to data of size bytes at current position in the stream, but it is allowed to return NULL - in that case you need to use Get to load data. PeekPtr does not move the position forward, you need to use some of Seek methods to do that.

 


 

const byte *GetPtr(int size = 1)

This is a special optimization method; it might return a pointer to data of size bytes at current position in the stream, but it is allowed to return NULL - in that case you need to use Get to load data. Unlike PeekPtr, it advances stream by size.

 


 

byte *PutPtr(int size = 1)

This is a special optimization method; it might return a writable pointer where you can write output data of size bytes, but it is allowed to return NULL - in that case you need to output data using Put. Advances stream by size.

 


 

const byte *GetSzPtr(int& size)

This is a special optimization method, it returns a pointer to data at current position of stream, sets size to the maximal possible amount of bytes that can be read from this pointer and advances stream by this size. size can be set to zero, in that case stream has to be read by another means (e.g. Get).

 


 

void Put(const void *data, int size)

Writes a block of raw binary data to the output stream.

 


 

int Get(void *data, int size)

Reads at most size bytes from the stream to data. Returns the number of bytes actually read.

 


 

String Get(int size)

Reads at most size bytes from the input stream and returns result as String.

 


 

String GetAll(int size)

Reads exactly size bytes from the input stream and returns result as String. If there is not enough bytes left, returns String::GetVoid(). Note that is size is large (currently > 4MB), function reads result in chunks in order to avoid problems with corrupted streams, e.g. situation where the size is obtained from the stream, is corrupted and too big and allocating that much memory would cause out-of-memory situation.

 


 

int Skip(int size)

Skips size bytes in input Stream. This is similar to SeekCur(size), however it works with Streams that do not support seeking. Returns a number of bytes actually skipped (can be less than required because of EOF).

bool GetAll64(void *data, int64 size)

Reads size bytes from the stream to memory at data. If there is not enough data in the stream, LoadError is invoked (that in turn might throw an exception). Returns true if required number of bytes was read. Unlike regular Get, block size can be greater than 2GB, if CPU is 64 bit.

 


 

size_t Get(Huge& h, size_t size)

Reads data into h, returns the size read.

Reads data into h, returns the size read. If there is not enough data in the stream, LoadError is invoked (that in turn might throw an exception).

 


 

void LoadThrowing()

Sets stream into the mode that throws LoadingError exception when LoadError is invoked. This mode is typical for serialization usage of stream.

Opens file stream in specified mode (as defined in BlockStream) and specific POSIX access rights. mode can be one of READ, CREATE, APPEND, READWRITE possibly combined (using '|') with flag NOWRITESHARE. This enforces exclusive write access to the file.

filename

The name of the file.

mode

Open mode.

 


 

bool Open(const char *filename, dword mode, mode_t acm = 0644)

Posix specific.

Opens file stream in specified mode (as defined in BlockStream) and specific POSIX access rights. mode can be one of READ, CREATE, APPEND, READWRITE possibly combined (using '|') with flag NOWRITESHARE. This flag uses flock system call to enforce exclusive write access to the file. In READ, if file does not exist, function fails. In CREATE mode, files is always created empty. In APPEND and READWRITE modes, file is created if it does not already exist.

filename

The name of the file.

mode

Open mode.

acm

Access rights.
