Detailed Description

This interface provides simple read-only access to a block of memory, and provides simple methods for reading files and standard input into a memory buffer. In addition to basic access to the characters in the file, this interface guarantees you can read one character past the end of the file, and that this character will read as '\0'.

The '\0' guarantee is needed to support an optimization -- it's intended to be more efficient for clients which are reading all the data to stop reading when they encounter a '\0' than to continually check the file position to see if it has reached the end of the file.

Member Function Documentation

const char* llvm::MemoryBuffer::getBufferEnd ( ) const [inline]
virtual const char* llvm::MemoryBuffer::getBufferIdentifier ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Return an identifier for this buffer, typically the filename it was read from.

Definition at line 62 of file MemoryBuffer.h.

Referenced by getMemBufferRef(), and llvm::SourceMgr::GetMessage().

virtual BufferKind llvm::MemoryBuffer::getBufferKind ( ) const [pure virtual]

Return information on the memory mechanism used to support the MemoryBuffer.

size_t llvm::MemoryBuffer::getBufferSize ( ) const [inline]
const char* llvm::MemoryBuffer::getBufferStart ( ) const [inline]
ErrorOr< std::unique_ptr< MemoryBuffer > > MemoryBuffer::getFile ( Twine  Filename,
int64_t  FileSize = -1,
bool  RequiresNullTerminator = true,
bool  IsVolatileSize = false 
) [static]

Open the specified file as a MemoryBuffer, returning a new MemoryBuffer if successful, otherwise returning null. If FileSize is specified, this means that the client knows that the file exists and that it has the specified size.

Parameters:
IsVolatileSizeSet to true to indicate that the file size may be changing, e.g. when libclang tries to parse while the user is editing/updating the file.

ErrorOr< std::unique_ptr< MemoryBuffer > > MemoryBuffer::getFileOrSTDIN ( StringRef  Filename,
int64_t  FileSize = -1 
) [static]

Open the specified file as a MemoryBuffer, or open stdin if the Filename is "-".

) [static]

Open the specified memory range as a MemoryBuffer, copying the contents and taking ownership of it. InputData does not have to be null terminated.

std::unique_ptr< MemoryBuffer > MemoryBuffer::getNewMemBuffer ( size_t  Size,

) [static]

Allocate a new zero-initialized MemoryBuffer of the specified size. Note that the caller need not initialize the memory allocated by this method. The memory is owned by the MemoryBuffer object.

References getNewUninitMemBuffer(), and llvm::LibFunc::memset.

std::unique_ptr< MemoryBuffer > MemoryBuffer::getNewUninitMemBuffer ( size_t  Size,

) [static]

Allocate a new MemoryBuffer of the specified size that is not initialized. Note that the caller should initialize the memory allocated by this method. The memory is owned by the MemoryBuffer object.

const char *  Filename,
uint64_t  FileSize,
bool  RequiresNullTerminator = true,
bool  IsVolatileSize = false 
) [static]

Given an already-open file descriptor, read the file and return a MemoryBuffer.

Parameters:
IsVolatileSizeSet to true to indicate that the file size may be changing, e.g. when libclang tries to parse while the user is editing/updating the file.

Definition at line 396 of file MemoryBuffer.cpp.

const char *  Filename,
uint64_t  MapSize,
int64_t  Offset,
bool  IsVolatileSize = false 
) [static]

Given an already-open file descriptor, map some slice of it into a MemoryBuffer. The slice is specified by an Offset and MapSize. Since this is in the middle of a file, the buffer is not null terminated.

Parameters:
IsVolatileSizeSet to true to indicate that the file size may be changing, e.g. when libclang tries to parse while the user is editing/updating the file.

init - Initialize this MemoryBuffer as a reference to externally allocated memory, memory that we know is already null terminated.
