I want to write a Converter for *base64_encoder* that works with Boost.IOStreams. Do you have a guide ?
Hmmm. ... that's exaclty what the base_64 code in the serialization library does.
I would think that wouldn't be too hard to use for this porpose.
If one had nothing else to do this code could be used to generated code_convert facets at compile time in a similar manner to the way it generates string conversion code at compile time. I believe that final result would be pretty useful. It would be useful for all standard i/o streams. I believe that it would be quite efficient - as I believe the current library is. Making this as a library of code convert facets would be a stricky job -as any library which works with standard code and real compilers and libraries is.
Hi Robert,
I want to use it with IOStreams Filters. I understood that Mathias has an implementation that works with it.
Something that concerns me about base64 code in serialization is the following error:
I'm not sure it's an error. The nature of base64 is that it has to be a multiple of 3 bytes. You have to pad it on output. The serialization library does this as it has to. I don't remember if it does it as part of the base64 conversion or outside of it.
Is it solved?
Regards, Fernando.
