The UaByteArray handles the access to an array of bytes. UaByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including \0s) and traditional 8-bit \0-terminated strings. Using UaByteArray is much more convenient than using const char *. Behind the scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a \0 terminator, and uses implicit sharing (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and avoid needless copying of data. You don't need to care about resizing or cleaning up the memory.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| UaByteArray::UaByteArray |
( |
) |
|
Constructs an empty byte array.
| UaByteArray::UaByteArray |
( |
const char * |
pData, |
|
|
int |
iSize |
|
) |
| |
Constructs a byte array as copy of pData.
- Parameters:
-
| pData | data to copy |
| iSize | length of the data in bytes |
Constructs a copy of other. This operation takes constant time, because UaByteArray is implicitly shared. This makes returning a UaByteArray from a function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and that takes linear time.

- Parameters:
-
| other | the OpcUa_ByteString to assign. |

Member Function Documentation
| int UaByteArray::capacity |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the capacity of this array. You will rarely ever need this function. You can check how many bytes you can until an automatic resize happens.
- Returns:
- Descripte capacity of this array.
| void UaByteArray::copyTo |
( |
OpcUa_ByteString * |
pDst ) |
const |
Copies the UaByteArray Date into a OpcUa_ByteString.
- Parameters:
-
| pDst | the destination of this operation. |
| const char * UaByteArray::data |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the pointer to the internal array data (as const char*). The pointer stays valid until you modify the array or it's deleted.
Converts a hexadeciamal string representation of a byte array into a UaByteArray. This string should not contain spaces and the string length must be a mutiple of 2 (2 chars per byte).
- Parameters:
-
| src | the source of this operation. |
- Returns:
- If an error occurs an empty byte array is returned.
| UaByteArray::operator const char * |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the pointer to the internal array data as (const char*). The pointer stays valid until you modify the array or it's deleted.
| UaByteArray::operator const UaUShort * |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the pointer to the internal array data as (const UaUShort*). The pointer stays valid until you modify the array or it's deleted.
| UaByteArray::operator const void * |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the pointer to the internal array data as (const void*). The pointer stays valid until you modify the array or it's deleted.
Assigns other to this array and returns a reference to this array.
- Parameters:
-
- Returns:
- a reference to this array.
| UaByteRef UaByteArray::operator[] |
( |
unsigned int |
i ) |
[inline] |
This function is provided for convenience and behaves like the function above.
- See also:
- operator[](int i)
This function is provided for convenience and behaves like the function above.
- See also:
- operator[](int i)
- Parameters:
-
| i | a variable to compare with. |
- Returns:
- ByteRef reference.
| UaByteRef UaByteArray::operator[] |
( |
int |
i ) |
[inline] |
This function is provided for convenience and behaves like the function above.
- See also:
- operator[](int i)
Returns the byte at index position i as a modifiable reference. If an assignment is made beyond the end of the byte array, the array is extended with resize() before the assignment takes place.
Example:
UaByteArray ba;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
ba[i] = 'A' + i;
// ba == "ABCDEFGHIJ"
The return value is of type UaByteRef, a helper class for UaByteArray. When you get an object of type UaByteRef, you can use it as if it were a char &. If you assign to it, the assignment will apply to the character in the UaByteArray from which you got the reference.
- See also:
- operator[](unsigned int i)
- Parameters:
-
| i | a variable to compare with. |
- Returns:
- a ByteRef reference.
| char UaByteArray::operator[] |
( |
int |
i ) |
const |
Returns the byte at the given position.
| char UaByteArray::operator[] |
( |
unsigned int |
i ) |
const |
Returns the byte at the given position.
| void UaByteArray::resize |
( |
int |
iSize ) |
|
Resizes the array. If more than one reference exists to this array, this function creates a copy this array with the new size iSize.
- Parameters:
-
| iSize | the actual size to resize the array. |
| int UaByteArray::size |
( |
) |
const |
Returns the size of this array.
- Returns:
- the size of this array.
| UaString UaByteArray::toHex |
( |
bool |
bSeparateWithSpace = false ) |
const |
Converts the byte array into a hex string.
- Parameters:
-
| bSeparateWithSpace | Separates each byte in the hex string with a space. Per default bSeparateWithSpace=false, you can use bSeparateWithSpace = true for better display. |
- Returns:
- a hex string.
