## Detailed Description

This class represents a protobuf message. Either a top-level message or a nested sub-message. Top-level messages can be created from any buffer with a pointer and length:

std::string buffer;
// fill buffer...
pbf_reader message{buffer.data(), buffer.size()};
protozero::data_view::size
constexpr std::size_t size() const noexcept
Return length of data in bytes.
Definition data_view.hpp:99
protozero::pbf_reader
Definition pbf_reader.hpp:62
protozero::pbf_reader::tag
pbf_tag_type tag() const noexcept
Definition pbf_reader.hpp:397
protozero::pbf_reader::data
data_view data() const noexcept
Definition pbf_reader.hpp:252

Sub-messages are created using get_message():

pbf_reader message{...};
message.next();
pbf_reader submessage = message.get_message();
protozero::pbf_reader::next
bool next()
Definition pbf_reader.hpp:284
protozero::pbf_reader::get_message
pbf_reader get_message()
Definition pbf_reader.hpp:726

All methods of the pbf_reader class except get_bytes() and get_string() provide the strong exception guarantee, ie they either succeed or do not change the pbf_reader object they are called on. Use the get_view() method instead of get_bytes() or get_string(), if you need this guarantee.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## pbf_reader() [1/5]

protozero::pbf_reader::pbf_reader | ( | const data_view & | view | ) |

inline explicit noexcept

Construct a pbf_reader message from a data_view. The pointer from the data_view will be stored inside the pbf_reader object, no data is copied. So you must make sure the view stays valid as long as the pbf_reader object is used.

The buffer must contain a complete protobuf message.

Postcondition
  There is no current field.

## pbf_reader() [2/5]

protozero::pbf_reader::pbf_reader | ( | const char * | data,
|  | std::size_t | size
| ) |  |

inline noexcept

Construct a pbf_reader message from a data pointer and a length. The pointer will be stored inside the pbf_reader object, no data is copied. So you must make sure the buffer stays valid as long as the pbf_reader object is used.

The buffer must contain a complete protobuf message.

Postcondition
  There is no current field.

## pbf_reader() [3/5]

protozero::pbf_reader::pbf_reader | ( | const std::pair< const char *, std::size_t > & | data | ) |

inline explicit noexcept

Construct a pbf_reader message from a data pointer and a length. The pointer will be stored inside the pbf_reader object, no data is copied. So you must make sure the buffer stays valid as long as the pbf_reader object is used.

The buffer must contain a complete protobuf message.

Postcondition
  There is no current field.

Deprecated:
  Use one of the other constructors.

## pbf_reader() [4/5]

protozero::pbf_reader::pbf_reader | ( | const std::string & | data | ) |

inline explicit noexcept

Construct a pbf_reader message from a std::string. A pointer to the string internals will be stored inside the pbf_reader object, no data is copied. So you must make sure the string is unchanged as long as the pbf_reader object is used.

The string must contain a complete protobuf message.

Postcondition
  There is no current field.

inline noexcept

Check the wire type of the current field.

Returns
  `true` if the current field has the given wire type.

Precondition
  There must be a current field (ie. next() must have returned `true`).

## length()

std::size_t protozero::pbf_reader::length | ( |  | ) | const

inline noexcept

Return the length in bytes of the current message. If you have already called next() and/or any of the get_*() functions, this will return the remaining length.

This can, for instance, be used to estimate the space needed for a buffer. Of course you have to know reasonably well what data to expect and how it is encoded for this number to have any meaning.

## next() [1/3]

bool protozero::pbf_reader::next | ( |  | ) |

inline

Set next field in the message as the current field. This is usually called in a while loop:

pbf_reader message(...);
while (message.next()) {
// handle field
}

Returns
  `true` if there is a next field, `false` if not.

Precondition
  There must be no current field.

Postcondition
  If it returns `true` there is a current field now.

## next() [2/3]

bool protozero::pbf_reader::next | ( | pbf_tag_type | next_tag | ) |

inline

Set next field with given tag in the message as the current field. Fields with other tags are skipped. This is usually called in a while loop for repeated fields:

pbf_reader message{...};
while (message.next(17)) {
// handle field
}

or you can call it just once to get the one field with this tag:

pbf_reader message{...};
if (message.next(17)) {
// handle field
}

Note that this will not check the wire type. The two-argument version of this function will also check the wire type.

Returns
  `true` if there is a next field with this tag.

Precondition
  There must be no current field.

Postcondition
  If it returns `true` there is a current field now with the given tag.

## next() [3/3]

bool protozero::pbf_reader::next | ( | pbf_tag_type | next_tag,
|  | pbf_wire_type | type
| ) |  |

inline

Set next field with given tag and wire type in the message as the current field. Fields with other tags are skipped. This is usually called in a while loop for repeated fields:

pbf_reader message{...};
while (message.next(17, pbf_wire_type::varint)) {
// handle field
}

or you can call it just once to get the one field with this tag:

pbf_reader message{...};
if (message.next(17, pbf_wire_type::varint)) {
// handle field
}

Note that this will also check the wire type. The one-argument version of this function will not check the wire type.

Returns
  `true` if there is a next field with this tag.

Precondition
  There must be no current field.

Postcondition
  If it returns `true` there is a current field now with the given tag.

## operator bool()

protozero::pbf_reader::operator bool | ( |  | ) | const

inline noexcept

In a boolean context the pbf_reader class evaluates to `true` if there are still fields available and to `false` if the last field has been read.

## skip()

void protozero::pbf_reader::skip | ( |  | ) |

inline

Consume the current field.

Precondition
  There must be a current field (ie. next() must have returned `true`).

Postcondition
  The current field was consumed and there is no current field now.

## swap()

void protozero::pbf_reader::swap | ( | pbf_reader & | other | ) |

inline noexcept

Swap the contents of this object with the other.

Parameters

  other | Other object to swap data with.

## tag()

pbf_tag_type protozero::pbf_reader::tag | ( |  | ) | const

inline noexcept

The tag of the current field. The tag is the field number from the description in the .proto file.

Call next() before calling this function to set the current field.

Returns
  tag of the current field.

Precondition
  There must be a current field (ie. next() must have returned `true`).

## tag_and_type()

uint32_t protozero::pbf_reader::tag_and_type | ( |  | ) | const

inline noexcept

Get the tag and wire type of the current field in one integer suitable for comparison with a switch statement.

## wire_type()

pbf_wire_type protozero::pbf_reader::wire_type | ( |  | ) | const

inline noexcept

Get the wire type of the current field. The wire types are:

- 0 - varint
- 1 - 64 bit
- 2 - length-delimited
- 5 - 32 bit

All other types are illegal.

Call next() before calling this function to set the current field.

Returns
  wire type of the current field.

Precondition
  There must be a current field (ie. next() must have returned `true`).
