Hi Everyone,
There are a few changes I wanted to make to the C++ implementation and make
compatible with std (and asio) streams as well as update it to use
C++11/14. I wanted to see what other thought. I would be happy to make the
change. I already have an implementation along these lines.
Currently, we use the output stream like this:
std::auto_ptr<avro::OutputStream> out =
avro::fileOutputStream("complex.dat", 4096);
avro::EncoderPtr e = avro::binaryEncoder();
e->init(*out);
c::cpx c1;
c1.re = 1.0;
c1.im = 2.13;
avro::encode(*e, c1);
Instead we should able to do like this:
avro::ostream os("complex.dat", ios_base::binary); // avro binary stream
c::cpx c1;
c1.re = 1.0;
c1.im = 2.13;
os << c1;
In other words, it should work similar to std stream. The use of
ios_base::binary or not decides whether this is a binary / json stream. The
implementation of the encoder/buffer is internal to the stream and client
classes don't need to be aware of them.
