/* byte_vector is a gdb_byte std::vector with a custom allocator that
|
|
unlike std::vector<gdb_byte> does not zero-initialize new elements
|
|
by default when the vector is created/resized. This is what you
|
|
usually want when working with byte buffers, since if you're
|
|
creating or growing a buffer you'll most surely want to fill it in
|
|
with data, in which case zero-initialization would be a
|
|
pessimization. For example:
|
|
|
|
gdb::byte_vector buf (some_large_size);
|
|
fill_with_data (buf.data (), buf.size ());
|
|
|
|
On the odd case you do need zero initialization, then you can still
|
|
call the overloads that specify an explicit value, like:
|
|
|
|
gdb::byte_vector buf (some_initial_size, 0);
|
|
buf.resize (a_bigger_size, 0);
|
|
|
|
(Or use std::vector<gdb_byte> instead.)
|
|
|
|
Note that unlike std::vector<gdb_byte>, function local
|
|
gdb::byte_vector objects constructed with an initial size like:
|
|
|
|
gdb::byte_vector buf (some_size);
|
|
fill_with_data (buf.data (), buf.size ());
|
|
|
|
usually compile down to the exact same as:
|
|
|
|
std::unique_ptr<byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[some_size]);
|
|
fill_with_data (buf.get (), some_size);
|
|
|
|
with the former having the advantage of being a bit more readable,
|
|
and providing the whole std::vector API, if you end up needing it.
