Default constructor.

Constructs a zero-length 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor.

Note that the object owns no allocated memory.

Constructor.

Constructs an 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor, transferring ownership of the specified heap descriptor to this object.

Protected constructor.

Transfers ownership of the specified 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor's buffer to this object.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

RBuf8::Close()

Assigns ownership of the specified allocated memory to this object.

The allocated memory forms the buffer for this descriptor. The current length of the descriptor is set to zero.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

Assigns ownership of the specified allocated memory to this object.

The allocated memory forms the buffer for this descriptor. The current length of the descriptor is set to the value of the second parameter.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

Transfers ownership of the specified heap descriptor to this object.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

RBuf8::Close()

Pushes a cleanup item for this object onto the cleanup stack.

The effect of this is to cause Close() to be called on this 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor, when CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy() is called at some later time.

...
RBuf8 x;
....
x.CleanupClosePushL();
...
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();

RBuf8::Close()

Deallocates memory assigned to this object, and re-initializes the object as a zero-length descriptor.

Creates an 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor.

The function allocates sufficient memory to contain descriptor data up to the specified maximum length.

The current length of the descriptor is set to zero. The maximum length of the descriptor is set to the specified value.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

TDesC8::Length() TDes8::MaxLength() RBuf8::Close()

Creates a 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor to contain a copy of the specified (source) descriptor.

The function allocates sufficient memory so that this descriptor's maximum length is the same as the length of the source descriptor. Both the current length and the maximum length of this descriptor are set to the length of the source descriptor.

The data contained in the source descriptor is copied into this descriptor.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

TDesC8::Length() TDes8::MaxLength() TDes8::Copy() RBuf8::Close()

Creates an 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor to contain a copy of the specified (source) descriptor.

The function allocates sufficient memory so that this descriptor's maximum length is the same as the value of the aMaxLength parameter.

The data contained in the source descriptor is copied into this descriptor. The length of data copied is either

or

whichever is the smaller value. The current length of this descriptor is also set to the smaller value.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

TDesC8::Length() TDes8::MaxLength() TDes8::Copy() RBuf8::Close()

Creates an 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor, and leaves on failure.

The function allocates sufficient memory to contain descriptor data up to the specified maximum length.

The current length of the descriptor is set to zero. The maximum length of the descriptor is set to the specified value.

Note that the function assumes that this descriptor does not already own any allocated memory. It does not check, nor does it free any pre-existing owned allocated memory. If this descriptor does already own allocated memory, RBuf8::Close() should be invoked on this descriptor before this function is invoked.

Creates an 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor that has been initialised with data from the specified read stream; leaves on failure.

Data is assigned to the new descriptor from the specified stream. This variant assumes that the stream contains the length of the data followed by the data itself.

The function is implemented by calling the HBufC8::NewL(RReadStream&,TInt) variant and then assigning the resulting heap descriptor using the RBuf8::Assign(HBufC8*) variant. The comments that describe the HBufC8::NewL() variant also apply to this RBuf8::CreateL() function.

The function may leave with one of the system-wide error codes, specifically KErrOverflow, if the length of the data as read from the stream is greater than the upper limit as specified by the aMaxLength parameter.

The function allocates sufficient memory so that this descriptor's maximum length is the same as the length of the source descriptor.Both the current length and the maximum length of this descriptor are set to the length of the source descriptor.

Resizes this 8-bit resizable buffer descriptor.

The length and contents of the descriptor are unchanged.

If the buffer descriptor was created from a zero-length heap descriptor HBufC, this method might leak memory (the heap descriptor is not freed). It is possible to avoid this by calling the Close() method prior to ReAlloc(), but this should be done only in this situation (otherwise the buffer contents will be lost).
