Detailed Description

template<typename StringBufferType>
class NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >

a simple class for creating NPL script code, especially data table code.

this class is reentrant (thread-safe). Please note that this class does not ensure that the code is a pure table. See Example: to generate the string : msg={name=1,2,{"3"="4",},}; CNPLWriter writer; // if you can estimate the buffer size, use CNPLWriter writer(nReservedSize) writer.WriteName("msg"); writer.BeginTable(); writer.WriteName("name"); writer.WriteValue(1); writer.WriteValue(2); writer.BeginTable(); writer.WriteName("3", true); writer.WriteValue("4"); writer.EndTable(); writer.EndTable(); writer.WriteParamDelimiter(); log(writer.ToString().c_str());

One can also provide their own string buffer to write to, like below. std::string buff; buff.reserve(100); CNPLWriter writer(buff);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CNPLWriterT()

template<typename StringBufferType >

NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::CNPLWriterT

(

int

nReservedSize = -1

)

the internal buffer reserved size.

Member Function Documentation

AddMemBlock()

template<typename StringBufferType >

char * NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::AddMemBlock

(

int

nSize

)

add a mem block of size nSize and return the address of the block.

we may fill the block at a latter time.

Parameters

nSize

size in bytes.

ToString()

template<typename StringBufferType >

const Buffer_Type& NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::ToString ( )

inline

get the current NPL code.

WriteName()

template<typename StringBufferType >

void NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::WriteName	(	const char *	name,
		bool	bUseBrackets = false
	)

write a parameter name

Parameters

bUseBrackets

if false, one has to make sure that the name is a valid NPL name string, without special characters.

WriteValue() [1/2]

template<typename StringBufferType >

void NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::WriteValue	(	const char *	value,
		bool	bInQuotation = true
	)

if bInQuotation is true, it writes a parameter text value.

Otherwise it will just append the value without encoding it with quatation marks.

WriteValue() [2/2]

template<typename StringBufferType >

void NPL::CNPLWriterT< StringBufferType >::WriteValue	(	const char *	buffer,
		int	nSize,
		bool	bInQuotation = true
	)

if bInQuotation is true, it writes a parameter text value.

Otherwise it will just append the value without encoding it with quatation marks.
