Or you could get the first 10 bytes in a new buffer and then 'compress' the original buffer. That way you can have sort of a ring buffer where you can take stuff of the beginning when you have received a full packet.
asio has the fixed_buffer template which does a similar sort of thing. It is used to implement the buffered_* templates that add buffering to sockets while retaining the interface.
Always when I use asio, I end up implementing something similar in my
code It would be nice if it were part of the standard asio library.

(Not saying that we should copy this, I'm just saying that it is good
functionality to have in a frmework that does network io)
Would you be able to share the C++ interface you have in mind for this? Cheers, Chris
