Store Size Functions
The following common member functions return the number of bytes of secondary storage necessary to store an object of type
ClassName to an
RWFile:
RWspace ClassName::binaryStoreSize() const;
RWspace ClassName::recursiveStoreSize() const;
The member functions use the function:
RWFile& operator<<(RWFile& file, const ClassName&);
The above member functions are good for storing objects using classes
RWFileManager and
RWBTreeOnDisk. For objects that inherit from
RWCollectable, the second variant
recursiveStoreSize() can calculate the number of bytes used in a recursive store. The variant uses the function:
RWFile& operator<<(RWFile& file, const RWCollectable&)
You can use class
RWAuditStreamBuffer in conjunction with any stream to count the number of bytes that pass through the buffer.
RWAuditStreamBuffer thus provides the same functionality for streams that the
StoreSize member functions (discussed above) provide for files. For more information on class
RWAuditStreamBuffer, see the
SourcePro API Reference Guide.
