Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

This is the documentation for a snapshot of the master branch, built from commit 064f557086.

Create a new non-modifiable buffer that represents the given POD array.

template<
    typename PodType,
    std::size_t N>
const_buffer buffer(
    const PodType((&data)[N],
    std::size_t max_size_in_bytes);

A const_buffer value equivalent to:

const_buffer(
   static_cast<const void*>(data),
   min(N * sizeof(PodType), max_size_in_bytes));
