Hi, I'm having trouble initializing a TMemoryBuffer with contents. I serialized an object (a ContactsList object) with TCompactProtocol and then wrote it out as a file to disk. Now, I'm trying to read that file and create the same object, but it appears that when I call the object's .read() function, it says "No more data to read." I suspect that I did not correctly initialize the TMemoryBuffer with anything. Here is what I'm doing:
// contacts_bin is a std::string that is read in from disk and is a binary string encoded with TCompactProtocol) // contacts_bin_copy is a copy of contacts_bin except it's a char* instead of a std::string. ContactsList object; shared_ptr<TMemoryBuffer> transportIn(new TMemoryBuffer((unsigned char*)contacts_bin_copy, contacts_bin.size())); shared_ptr<TCompactProtocol> protocolIn(new TCompactProtocol(transportIn)); object.read(protocolIn.get()); So, I am creating a new TMemoryBuffer by providing a string and the size of that string to the constructor. I might not be doing it right, which is why I'm getting problems. Might the buffer have nothing in it because I did not change the memory policy to COPY? If that's the case, what's the correct code that will do it? Thanks, Jack
