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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ dontNeedIfMmap()

virtual void llvm::MemoryBuffer::dontNeedIfMmap ( )

inlinevirtual

For read-only MemoryBuffer_MMap, mark the buffer as unused in the near future and the kernel can free resources associated with it.

Further access is supported but may be expensive. This calls madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) on read-only file mappings on *NIX systems. This function should not be called on a writable buffer.

	)

static

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

Parameters

IsText	Set to true to indicate that the file should be read in text mode.
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.
Alignment	Set to indicate that the buffer should be aligned to at least the specified alignment.
