Detailed Description

Interface for buffered transformations.

BufferedTransformation is a generalization of BlockTransformation, StreamTransformation and HashTransformation.

A buffered transformation is an object that takes a stream of bytes as input (this may be done in stages), does some computation on them, and then places the result into an internal buffer for later retrieval. Any partial result already in the output buffer is not modified by further input.

If a method takes a "blocking" parameter, and you pass false for it, then the method will return before all input has been processed if the input cannot be processed without waiting (for network buffers to become available, for example). In this case the method will return true or a non-zero integer value. When this happens you must continue to call the method with the same parameters until it returns false or zero, before calling any other method on it or attached BufferedTransformation. The integer return value in this case is approximately the number of bytes left to be processed, and can be used to implement a progress bar.

For functions that take a "propagation" parameter, propagation != 0 means pass on the signal to attached BufferedTransformation objects, with propagation decremented at each step until it reaches 0. -1 means unlimited propagation.

All of the retrieval functions, like Get() and GetWord32(), return the actual number of bytes retrieved, which is the lesser of the request number and MaxRetrievable().

Most of the input functions, like Put() and PutWord32(), return the number of bytes remaining to be processed. A 0 value means all bytes were processed, and a non-0 value means bytes remain to be processed.

◆ CreatePutSpace()

virtual byte * BufferedTransformation::CreatePutSpace ( size_t &  size)
inlinevirtual

Request space which can be written into by the caller.

Parameters
sizethe requested size of the buffer
Returns
byte pointer to the space to input data

The purpose of this method is to help avoid extra memory allocations.

size is an IN and OUT parameter and used as a hint. When the call is made, size is the requested size of the buffer. When the call returns, size is the size of the array returned to the caller.

The base class implementation sets size to 0 and returns NULL.

Note
Some objects, like ArraySink, cannot create a space because its fixed. In the case of an ArraySink, the pointer to the array is returned and the size is remaining size.

Parameters
containerthe wait container to receive the references to the objects
callStackCallStack() object used to select waitable objects

IsolatedInitialize() is used to initialize or reinitialize an object using a variable number of arbitrarily typed arguments. The function avoids the need for multiple constructors providing all possible combintations of configurable parameters.

IsolatedInitialize() does not call Initialize() on attached transformations. If initialization should be propagated, then use the Initialize() function.

If a derived class does not override IsolatedInitialize(), then the base class throws NotImplemented.

◆ Initialize()

virtual void BufferedTransformation::Initialize ( const NameValuePairs parameters = g_nullNameValuePairs,
int  propagation = -1 
)
virtual

Initialize or reinitialize this object, with signal propagation.

Parameters
parametersa set of NameValuePairs to initialize or reinitialize this object
propagationthe number of attached transformations the Initialize() signal should be passed

Initialize() is used to initialize or reinitialize an object using a variable number of arbitrarily typed arguments. The function avoids the need for multiple constructors providing all possible combintations of configurable parameters.

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to 1 means this object only. Setting propagation to -1 means unlimited propagation.

Reimplemented in Redirector, Filter, OutputProxy, and CustomSignalPropagation< Sink >.

◆ Flush()

virtual bool BufferedTransformation::Flush ( bool  hardFlush,
int  propagation = -1,
bool  blocking = true 
)
virtual

Flush buffered input and/or output, with signal propagation.

Parameters
hardFlushis used to indicate whether all data should be flushed
propagationthe number of attached transformations the Flush() signal should be passed
blockingspecifies whether the object should block when processing input
Returns
true if the flush was successful, false otherwise

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to 1 means this object only. Setting propagation to -1 means unlimited propagation.

Note
Hard flushes must be used with care. It means try to process and output everything, even if there may not be enough data to complete the action. For example, hard flushing a HexDecoder would cause an error if you do it after inputing an odd number of hex encoded characters.
For some types of filters, like ZlibDecompressor, hard flushes can only be done at "synchronization points". These synchronization points are positions in the data stream that are created by hard flushes on the corresponding reverse filters, in this example ZlibCompressor. This is useful when zlib compressed data is moved across a network in packets and compression state is preserved across packets, as in the SSH2 protocol.

Reimplemented in Unflushable< Filter >, Unflushable< Multichannel< Filter > >, Filter, Redirector, OutputProxy, SecretSharing, InformationDispersal, Multichannel< Sink >, Multichannel< Filter >, CustomFlushPropagation< Sink >, and CustomFlushPropagation< Filter >.

Each object that receives the signal will perform its processing, decrement propagation, and then pass the signal on to attached transformations if the value is not 0.

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to 1 means this object only. Setting propagation to -1 means unlimited propagation.

the number of bytes ready for retrieval

The number of bytes available are dependent on the source. If an exact value is available, then the exact value is returned. The exact value can include 0 if the source is exhausted.

Some stream-based sources do not allow seeking() on the underlying stream, such as some FileSource(). If the stream does not allow seeking() then MaxRetrievable() returns LWORD_MAX to indicate there are still bytes to be retrieved.
