[pclasses-devel] IORequest_Get::receive() suggestion

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

Yo again:

IORequest_Get::receive( char *, size_t );

Could i convince you guys to either:

a) Add receive( std::string &, size_t );
or
b) give me CVS write access so i can? (SF user == sgbeal)

??

It can be implemented in terms of the current receive() by passing a  
vector<char> to the existing function, then simply copying the result 
to a std::string. Something like:

size_t receive( std::string & s, size_t count )
{
	typedef vector<char> VC;
	VC v( count, '\0' );
	size_t ret = receive( &v[0], v.size() );
	s = std::string( v.begin(), v.begin() + ret );
	return ret;
}

(achtung: untested)

(achtung #2: when i find exciting code i send lots of mails. ;)
