Wes McKinney updated ARROW-3157:
--------------------------------
Labels: usability (was: )
> [C++] Improve buffer creation for typed data
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3157
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3157
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Philipp Moritz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: usability
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> While looking into [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/2481,] I noticed
> this pattern:
> {code:java}
> const uint8_t* bytes_array = reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(input);
> auto buffer = std::make_shared<Buffer>(bytes_array,
> sizeof(float)*input_length);{code}
> It's not the end of the world but seems a little verbose to me. It would be
> great to have something like this:
> {code:java}
> auto buffer = MakeBuffer<float>(input, input_length);{code}
> I couldn't find it, does it already exist somewhere? Any thoughts on the API?
> Potentially specializations to make a buffer out of a std::vector<T> would
> also be helpful.
