fix#404
Parsing and serialization interfaces have been fine tuned and unified.
For parsing these stream operations are defined:
* read
* read_header
* read_some
* async_read
* async_read_header
* async_read_some
For serialization these stream operations are defined:
* write
* write_header
* write_some
* async_write
* async_write_header
* async_write_some
The concept type traits are renamed for consistency,
and consolidated into a single header file <beast/core/type_traits.hpp>
A new section, Core Concepts, is added to the documentation describing all
of the core utility classes and functions. This also includes a complete
explanation and sample program describing how to write asynchronous initiation
functions and their associated composed operations.
This function converts integers to their decimal
representation as a static string.
In addition, static_string::resize no longer initializes
characters if the new size is larger.
A new function, buffers(), returns an implementation defined object
which wraps a ConstBufferSequence and supports formatting to a
std::ostream.
The function to_string is removed, as the new implementation allows
conversion to string using boost::lexical_cast on the return value
of the call to buffers(). Streaming to an output stream is more
efficient: no dynamic allocations are performed.
Example:
streambuf sb;
std::cout << buffers(sb.data()) << std::endl;
This eliminates beast::write output for dynamic buffers and replaces
it with the function ostream() that wraps a caller provided dynamic
buffer and returns the result as a std::ostream derived object.
Callers may now produce formatted output into any object meeting the
requirements of DynamicBuffer using operator<< and the standard stream
modifiers such as std::endl.
This new technique is more efficient, as implementations of operator<<
can now write directly into the output using std::ostream::write and
std::ostream::put.
Example of use:
beast::streambuf sb;
beast::ostream(sb) << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
Objects of this type meet the requirements of DynamicBuffer
and offer an additional invariant: buffer sequences returned
by data() and prepare() are always of length one.
* Add handler_ptr test and increase coverage
* Add test for prepare_buffer
* Move is_call_possible tests to a .cpp file
* Tidy up docs and declarations
fix#215
This change guarantees that temporary memory allocated
through the asio hooks by the Beast implementation is
deallocated before invoking the final handler when performing
composed operations.
The change is accomplished by replacing std::shared_ptr with
a thread-safe custom container handler_ptr to manage composed
operation state. The container tracks other instances which
manage the same object and resets them in a safe way before
invoking the final handler.
handler_ptr is provided as a public interface so that users of
this library can utilize the same idiom to write their own
composed operations.
buffer_cat now determines if all of the buffer sequences in
the list of passed buffer sequences each have value types which
are convertible to mutable_buffer. The returned concatenated
sequence will be a MutableBufferSequence if all the passed
buffer sequences meet the requirements of MutableBufferSequence,
else the returned concatenated sequence will be a ConstBufferSequence.
This fixes a bug where instantiations of consuming_buffers with
buffer sequence types whose value_type is not const_buffer or
mutable_buffer can cause compilation errors.
The function consumed_buffers is removed.
