Member Summary

Member Functions: begin, end, operator [], resize, size

Constructors

Buffer inline

Buffer(
    std::size_t size
);

Creates and allocates the Buffer.

Destructor

~Buffer inline

~Buffer();

Destroys the Buffer.

Member Functions

begin inline

T * begin();

Returns a pointer to the beginning of the buffer.

begin inline

end inline

T * end();

Returns a pointer to end of the buffer.

end inline

const T * end() const;

Returns a pointer to the end of the buffer.

operator [] inline

T & operator[] (
    std::size_t index
);

operator [] inline

const T & operator[] (
    std::size_t index
) const;

resize inline

void resize(
    std::size_t newSize,
    bool preserveContent = true
);

Resizes the buffer. If preserveContent is true, the content of the old buffer is copied over to the new buffer. NewSize can be larger or smaller than the current size, but it must not be 0.
