WriteIntegerArrayToBuffer

This is Filter Equivalent. This function may be present in generated code, but should not be used in hand-written code.

Converts an array of integer values into specified binary representation and writes it to a byte buffer.

Syntax

void avl::WriteIntegerArrayToBuffer
(
	const avl::ByteBuffer& inBuffer,
	atl::Optional<int> inOffset,
	const atl::Array<int>& inArray,
	avl::IntegerBinaryFormat::Type inFormat,
	avl::ByteBuffer& outBuffer
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inBuffer	const ByteBuffer&			Initial buffer to be expanded
inOffset	Optional<int>	0 -	NIL	Write destination position
inArray	const Array<int>&			Values array to be written
inFormat	IntegerBinaryFormat::Type		Signed_32Bit_LittleEndian	Binary serialization format of integer data
outBuffer	ByteBuffer&			Resulting data

Description

This filter is intended for generating a raw binary data in the ByteBuffer by writing a properly serialized array of integer values into it.

Resulting ByteBuffer data on the outBuffer output is created by expanding data from buffer on the inBuffer input. Data is written starting at the position specified by the inOffset input (in bytes). When written data spans beyond the end of the input buffer the resulting buffer length is expanded (event when inOffset points beyond the end of the input buffer). When the inOffset input is set to Auto data is written at the end of the input buffer.

This filter writes multiple consecutive integer values from an array on the inArray input. Every array item integer value is converted into a binary representation according to the inFormat input value:

Signed_8Bit - signed two's complement 8-bit integer, 1 byte long.
Signed_16Bit_LittleEndian - signed two's complement 16-bit integer, 2 bytes long with little-endian byte order.
Signed_32Bit_LittleEndian - signed two's complement 32-bit integer, 4 bytes long with little-endian byte order.
Signed_64Bit_LittleEndian - signed two's complement 64-bit integer, 8 bytes long with little-endian byte order.
Unsigned_8Bit - unsigned 8-bit integer, 1 byte long.
Unsigned_16Bit_LittleEndian - unsigned 16-bit integer, 2 bytes long with little-endian byte order.
Unsigned_64Bit_LittleEndian - unsigned 64-bit integer, 8 bytes long with little-endian byte order.
Signed_16Bit_BigEndian - signed two's complement 16-bit integer, 2 bytes long with big-endian byte order.
Signed_32Bit_BigEndian - signed two's complement 32-bit integer, 4 bytes long with big-endian byte order.
Signed_64Bit_BigEndian - signed two's complement 64-bit integer, 8 bytes long with big-endian byte order.
Unsigned_16Bit_BigEndian - unsigned 16-bit integer, 2 bytes long with big-endian byte order.
Unsigned_32Bit_BigEndian - unsigned 32-bit integer, 4 bytes long with big-endian byte order.
Unsigned_64Bit_BigEndian - unsigned 64-bit integer, 8 bytes long with big-endian byte order.

Supported numeric range of stored value also depends on selected format:

Signed_8Bit: -128...127
Signed_16Bit_: -32768...32767
Signed_32Bit_: -2147483648...2147483647
Signed_64Bit_: -9223372036854775808...9223372036854775807 *
Unsigned_8Bit: 0...255
Unsigned_16Bit_: 0...65535
Unsigned_32Bit_: 0...4294967295 *
Unsigned_64Bit_: 0...18446744073709551615 *

*) actual achievable range in the application is also limited by the Integer type

When an array item value (which is a signed 32-bit integer) cannot be stored in the selected format (it is out of its range) a DomainError is raised.

This filter can be used as a more convenient and faster alternative to the connection of WriteIntegerToBuffer and WriteBufferArrayToBuffer filters.

In-place Processing

This function supports in-place data processing - you can pass the same reference to inBuffer and outBuffer
