Because a <CODE>aggregate_filter</CODE> must read an entire character sequence into memory before it begins to filter, it is not suitable in low-memory situations or for processing character sequences which have no natural end, such as stock tickers. Because of these limitations, <CODE>aggregate_filter</CODE> is best used as an aid to those learning to use the Iostreams library. </P> <P> When used as an <A HREF="../concepts/input_filter.html">InputFilter</A>, an instance of <CODE>aggregate_filter</CODE> reads to the end of the stream as soon as input is commenced. The entire contents of the stream are filtered using the <CODE>private virtual</CODE> function <A HREF="#do_filter"><CODE>do_filter</CODE></A>. The filtered data is stored and used to satisfy all future requests for input until the end of the filtered data is reached. </P> <P> When used as an <A HREF="../concepts/output_filter.html">OutputFilter</A>, an instance of <CODE>aggregate_filter</CODE> stores all data written to it without passing it downstream. When the stream is closed, the entire contents of the stream are filtered using <A HREF="#do_filter"><CODE>do_filter</CODE></A>. The filtered data is then written, all at once, to the next downstream Filter or Device. </P> <A NAME="headers"></A> <H2>Headers</H2> <DL class="page-index"> <DT><A CLASS="header" HREF="../../../../boost/iostreams/filter/aggregate.hpp"><CODE><boost/iostreams/filter/aggregate.hpp></CODE></A></DT> </DL> <A NAME="reference"></A> <H2>Reference</H2> <H4>Synopsis</H4> <PRE CLASS="broken_ie"><SPAN CLASS="keyword">namespace</SPAN> boost { <SPAN CLASS="keyword">namespace</SPAN> iostreams { <SPAN CLASS="preprocessor">#include</SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="literal"><vector></SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="keyword"><SPAN CLASS="keyword">template</SPAN></SPAN>< <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typename</SPAN> <A CLASS="documented" HREF="#template_params">Ch</A>, <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typename</SPAN> <A CLASS="documented" HREF="#template_params">Tr</A> = std::char_traits<Ch>, <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typename</SPAN> <A CLASS="documented" HREF="#template_params">Alloc</A> = std::allocator<Ch> > <SPAN CLASS="keyword">class</SPAN> <A CLASS="documented" HREF="#template_params">aggregate_filter</A> { <SPAN CLASS="keyword">public</SPAN>: <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typedef</SPAN> Ch char_type; <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typedef</SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="omitted">implementation-defined</SPAN> category; <SPAN CLASS="keyword">typedef</SPAN> std::vector<Char, Alloc> vector_type; <SPAN CLASS="keyword">virtual</SPAN> ~aggregate_filter(); <SPAN CLASS="omitted">...</SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="keyword">private</SPAN>: <SPAN CLASS="keyword">virtual</SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="keyword">void</SPAN> <A CLASS="documented" HREF="#do_filter">do_filter</A>(<SPAN CLASS="keyword">const</SPAN> vector_type& src, vector_type& dest) = 0; }; } } <SPAN CLASS="comment">// End namespace boost::io</SPAN></PRE> <A NAME="template_params"></A> <H4>Template parameters</H4> <TABLE STYLE="margin-left:2em" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2> <TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="top"><I>Ch</I></TD><TD WIDTH="2em" VALIGN="top">-</TD> <TD>The character type</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="top"><I>Tr</I></TD><TD WIDTH="2em" VALIGN="top">-</TD> <TD>The traits type</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="top"><I>Alloc</I></TD><TD WIDTH="2em" VALIGN="top">-</TD> <TD>A standard library allocator type (<A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#iso">[ISO]</A>, 20.1.5), used to instantiate <CODE>std::vector</CODE></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <A NAME="do_filter"></A> <H4><CODE>aggregate_filter::do_filter</CODE></H4> <PRE CLASS="broken_ie"> <SPAN CLASS="keyword">virtual</SPAN> <SPAN CLASS="keyword">void</SPAN> <B>do_filter</B>(<SPAN CLASS="keyword">const</SPAN> vector_type& src, vector_type& dest) = 0;</PRE> <P>Reads unflitered characters from <CODE>src</CODE> and appends filtered characters to <CODE>dest</CODE>, returning after all the characters in <CODE>src</CODE> have been consumed.</P> <A NAME="examples"></A> <H2>Examples</H2> <P>For example uses of <CODE>aggregate_filter</CODE>, see the headers <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../../../boost/iostreams/filter/regex.hpp"><CODE><boost/iostreams/filter/regex.hpp></CODE></A> and <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../../../boost/iostreams/filter/stdio.hpp"><CODE><boost/iostreams/filter/stdio.hpp></CODE></A>.</P> <!-- Begin Footer --> <HR> <P CLASS="copyright">Revised 02 Feb 2008</P> <P CLASS="copyright">© Copyright 2008 <a href="http://www.coderage.com/" target="_top">CodeRage, LLC</a><br/>© Copyright 2004-2007 <a href="http://www.coderage.com/turkanis/" target="_top">Jonathan Turkanis</a></P> <P CLASS="copyright"> Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
