Re: [boost] Interest in a simple buffer abstraction?

I'm working on a frame concept, which is something like a bidirectional buffer. It allows to prepend and append binary data, and obtain/remove the header and the trailer.

In addition we can split a frame in fragments and join fragments to make a frame.

All these features are needed when working with protocol stacks.

Best, Vicente

You'll have a winner if you expand that to allow bidirectional iteration of both bytes and fragments (and then a fragment is just a raw array giving random-access iteration within them). VERY useful for high-performance incremental parsing, I would definitely give my +1 for boost inclusion. -- Cory Nelson http://int64.org
