Although MSVC 11.0 supports the decltype keyword, it does not operate
correctly when used in the buffer sequence detection traits. This change
fixes compile errors when trying to use the read and write composed
operations with MSVC 11.0.
This change adds a new set of type requirements for dynamic buffers,
DynamicBuffer_v2, which supports copy construction. These new type
requirements enable dynamic buffers to be used as arguments to
user-defined composed operations, where the same dynamic buffer object
is used repeatedly for multiple underlying operations. For example:
template <typename DynamicBuffer>
void echo_line(tcp::socket& sock, DynamicBuffer buf)
{
n = boost::asio::read_until(sock, buf, '\n');
boost::asio::write(sock, buf, boost::asio::transfer_exactly(n));
}
The original DynamicBuffer type requirements have been renamed to
DynamicBuffer_v1.
New type traits is_dynamic_buffer_v1 and is_dynamic_buffer_v2 have been
added to test for conformance to DynamicBuffer_v1 and DynamicBuffer_v2
respectively. The existing is_dynamic_buffer trait has been retained and
delegates to is_dynamic_buffer_v1, unless BOOST_ASIO_NO_DYNAMIC_BUFFER_V1
is defined, in which case it delegates to is_dynamic_buffer_v2.
The dynamic_string_buffer and dynamic_vector buffer classes conform to
both DynamicBuffer_v1 and DynamicBuffer_v2 requirements.
When BOOST_ASIO_NO_DYNAMIC_BUFFER_V1 is defined, all support for
DynamicBuffer_v1 types and functions is #ifdef-ed out. Support for using
basic_streambuf with the read, async_read, read_until, async_read_until,
write, and async_write functions is also disabled as a consequence.
This change should have no impact on existing source code that simply
uses dynamic buffers in conjunction with asio's composed operations,
such as:
string data;
// ...
size_t n = boost::asio::read_until(my_socket
boost::asio::dynamic_buffer(data, MY_MAX),
'\n');
This change addresses an issue where a call to buffer_sequence_begin or
buffer_sequence_end could trigger an implicit conversion to const_buffer
or mutable_buffer. Whenever this implicit conversion occurred, the
return value of buffer_sequence_begin/end would point to a temporary
object.
