Re: [DISCUSS][C++] Take over a foreign buffer with arrow::Buffer?

I think you could achieve this with inheritance similar to StlStringBufffer (this is how Buffer::FromString works) or by using a custom shared_ptr deleter (this is how Buffer::FromVector works). I would look at the implementation of those two methods and work from there. On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 10

Hi, I'm using the Arrow C++ API with an external RPC library to exchange Arrow data as record batches. I can not figure out how to use the arrow::Buffer interface with my RPC library properly. Simplified version of the flow -- on the receiver of Arrow data, my RPC library hands me a uint8_t* poin

I didn't realize I could subclass buffers -- this is perfect, thank you!! Ankush On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 4:08 PM Weston Pace wrote: > > I think you could achieve this with inheritance similar to StlStringBufffer > (this is how Buffer::FromString works) or by using a custom shared_ptr > deleter
