Detailed Description

This interface provides simple read-only access to a block of memory, and provides simple methods for reading files and standard input into a memory buffer.

In addition to basic access to the characters in the file, this interface guarantees you can read one character past the end of the file, and that this character will read as '\0'.

The '\0' guarantee is needed to support an optimization – it's intended to be more efficient for clients which are reading all the data to stop reading when they encounter a '\0' than to continually check the file position to see if it has reached the end of the file.

		int64_t	FileSize = `-1`,
		bool	RequiresNullTerminator = `true`,

	)

static

Open the specified file as a MemoryBuffer, returning a new MemoryBuffer if successful, otherwise returning null.

If FileSize is specified, this means that the client knows that the file exists and that it has the specified size.

Parameters

IsVolatile Set to true to indicate that the contents of the file can change outside the user's control, e.g. when libclang tries to parse while the user is editing/updating the file or if the file is on an NFS.

ErrorOr< std::unique_ptr< MemoryBuffer > > MemoryBuffer::getFileAsStream ( const Twine & Filename )

static
