plDeferredFileWriter Class Reference

A file writer that caches all written data and only opens and writes to the output file when everything is finished. Useful to ensure that only complete files are written, or nothing at all, in case of a crash. More...

Inheritance diagram for plDeferredFileWriter:

Public Member Functions

 ~plDeferredFileWriter ()
 Upon destruction the file is closed and thus written, unless Discard was called before.
 
void SetOutput (plStringView sFileToWriteTo, bool bOnlyWriteIfDifferent=false)
 This must be configured before anything is written to the file.
 
virtual plResult WriteBytes (const void *pWriteBuffer, plUInt64 uiBytesToWrite) override
 Writes a raw number of bytes from the buffer, this is the only method which has to be implemented to fully implement the interface.
 
plResult Close (bool *out_pWasWrittenTo=nullptr)
 Upon calling this the content is written to the file specified with SetOutput(). The return value is PL_FAILURE if the file could not be opened or not completely written.
 
void Discard ()
 Calling this abandons the content and a later Close or destruction of the instance will no longer write anything to file.
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from plStreamWriter
 plStreamWriter ()
 Constructor.
 
virtual ~plStreamWriter ()
 Virtual destructor to ensure correct cleanup.
 
virtual plResult Flush ()
 Flushes the stream, may be implemented (not necessary to implement the interface correctly) so that user code can ensure that content is written.
 
template<typename T >
plResult WriteWordValue (const T *pWordValue)
 Helper method to write a word value correctly (copes with potentially different endianess)
 
template<typename T >
plResult WriteDWordValue (const T *pDWordValue)
 Helper method to write a dword value correctly (copes with potentially different endianess)
 
template<typename T >
plResult WriteQWordValue (const T *pQWordValue)
 Helper method to write a qword value correctly (copes with potentially different endianess)
 
PL_ALWAYS_INLINE void WriteVersion (plTypeVersion version)
 Writes a type version to the stream.
 
template<typename ArrayType , typename ValueType >
plResult WriteArray (const plArrayBase< ValueType, ArrayType > &array)
 Writes an array of elements to the stream.
 
template<typename ValueType , plUInt16 uiSize>
plResult WriteArray (const plSmallArrayBase< ValueType, uiSize > &array)
 Writes a small array of elements to the stream.
 
template<typename ValueType , plUInt32 uiSize>
plResult WriteArray (const ValueType(&array)[uiSize])
 Writes a C style fixed array.
 
template<typename KeyType , typename Comparer >
plResult WriteSet (const plSetBase< KeyType, Comparer > &set)
 Writes a set.
 
template<typename KeyType , typename ValueType , typename Comparer >
plResult WriteMap (const plMapBase< KeyType, ValueType, Comparer > &map)
 Writes a map.
 
template<typename KeyType , typename ValueType , typename Hasher >
plResult WriteHashTable (const plHashTableBase< KeyType, ValueType, Hasher > &hashTable)
 Writes a hash table (note that the entry order might change on read)
 
plResult WriteString (const plStringView sStringView)
 Writes a string.
