I updated idl_gen_general.cpp to add support for generating a Get Bytes method for a vector to the generated C# source code. Given a byte vector field named Foo, a method named GetFooBytes() will be generated in the C# source code that will return an ArraySegment<byte> value referencing the vector data in the underlying ByteBuffer. I added a method to Table.cs named __vector_as_arraysegment that is used by the code generated by the change to the C# generator. __vector_as_arraysegment will take the offset of the vector and will return the ArraySegment<byte> value corresponding to the bytes that store the vector data. I updated FlatBuffersExampleTests.cs to add tests to validate my implementation of Table.__vector_as_arraysegment. I added tests to demonstrate that the bytes for the monster's name can be extracted from the underlying byte array. I also added tests to show that Table.__vector_as_arraysegment returns a null value if the vector is not present in the FlatBuffer. I used the updated flatc.exe program to regenerate the C# source files for the MyGame example. The new Monster class includes the GetXXXBytes methods to return the byte arrays containing data for vectors.
FlatBuffers Version 1.1.0
Welcome to FlatBuffers!
Build Status
- Travis:
FlatBuffers is a serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. Go to our landing page to browse our documentation.
FlatBuffers allows you to directly access serialized data without
unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards
compatibility. FlatBuffers can be built for many different systems (Android,
Windows, OS X, Linux), see docs/html/index.html
Discuss FlatBuffers with other developers and users on the FlatBuffers Google Group. File issues on the FlatBuffers Issues Tracker or post your questions to stackoverflow.com with a mention of flatbuffers.
For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked. This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string (flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if you would leave it in.
