Expandable, Data Type-Neutral Buffer Class

CBuffer is an expandable buffer class which can expand when needed and
allows insertion of data and many operation on buffer

Using the CBuffer Class

In order to use the class, simply do the following. (Remember that if any of this is

unclear, I have included a demo application that will hopefully clear up any

misunderstandings.

1. Instantiate the CBuffer object
2. Call the CBuffer Init method

CBuffer:Init(int nSizeOfBuffer, int nNbrOfElements,
  int nIncrementalGrowthValue)

3. Insert data into the buffer by using any of the following mechanisms:
   
   
   

int CBuffer::PutData(BYTE *pBuff)




void CBuffer::operator+=(BYTE *pBuff)




int CBuffer::InserData(BYTE * pBuff,int nOffset)




6. Retrieve data from the buffer by calling any of the following methods:
   
   
   

int CBuffer::GetData(BYTE * pBuff,int nIndex)




BYTE *CBuffer::GetPointer(int nIndex) const




8. Use any of the following helper methods
   
   
   

m_Buffer.GetSize();




m_Buffer.GetTotalElements();




m_Buffer.GetStructureSize();




m_Buffer.GetFreeSp();




m_Buffer.GetFreeStSp();
