Detailed Description

MkBufferC - the abstract class known as buf or buffer is used to create and manage dynamic, generic, mixed typed data. …

The MkBufferC is used to store PRIMITIVE TYPE data. If rbmkkernel is working on data… rbmkkernel is working on an MkBufferC object or on a list of MkBufferC objects called MkBufferListC.

MkBufferC CLASS

The ABSTRACT-CLASS used to store a native-type-data-item defined by PRIMITIVE TYPE …

C-Kernel-Details

The ABSTRACT-CLASS MkBufferS is used to store MkTypeE data in an MkBufferS::storage …

A new MkBufferS is always preallocated with the predefined ILS-storage (MkBufferS::ils_data), but can switch to a MALLOC-storage if the storage requirements of the user exceed the predefined MkBufferS::ilsS::size.

‍A MkBufferS never run out of storage.

The basic goal of the ILS-storage technology is to minimize the usage of MALLOC, this mean that the MkBufferS::ilsS::size should be large enought to be sufficient for the user needs.

The following conditions must always be met for the ILS memory:

• The MkBufferS::ils_data have to be always the last item in the last subclass of MkBufferS
• The MkBufferS::ilsS::offset is calculated as: MkBufferSPtr->ils_data - MkBufferSPtr.

The ABSTRACT-CLASS MkBufferS is missing the ILS-storage, the FINAL-CLASSES are:

‍MkBuffer64C, MkBuffer256C and MkBuffer1024C

(constructor,static) MkBufferC MkBufferC.Create(?size:int32=0?)	MkKernel.MkBufferC(?size:long=0?)
(destructor) buf.Delete()	buf = nil

Example from server.rb → read a buffer-object and convert single-char-type-identifer to string.

  def BUF2
    SendSTART()
    for i in 1..3 do
      buf = ReadBUF()
      SendSTR(buf.GetType1())
      SendBUF(buf)
    end
    SendRETURN()
  end
