manpagedescription()

The class bf(FBB::MemoryAccess) manages the access to the shared memory data
blocks used by Bobcat's tt(Memory...) classes. It is not normally used
directly. Instead, it is a support class used by bf(FBB::MemoryBridge).

manpagesection(CONSTRUCTORS)

    There are no publicly available constructors. The static member 
tt(create) (see below) returns a pointer to a tt(MemoryAccess) object.

    Copy and move constructors and assignment operators are not available.

    Note: the tt(MemoryAccess) destructor performs no actions. See also the
    static member tt(create) below.

manpagesection(MEMBER FUNCTIONS)
    itemization(
    itb(char *beginPtr() const)
       Returns a pointer to the first byte of the memory block
        (cf. bf(memoryblock)(3bobcat)) corresponding to the current offset
        (cf. member tt(offset()), below). 

    itb(size_t blockBegin() const)
       Returns the offset of the  first byte of the memory block corresponding
        to the current offset.

    itb(size_t blockEnd() const)
       Returns the offset just beyond the last byte of the memory block
        corresponding to the current offset.

    itb(size_t bufLimits(size_t offset))
       Computes the values returned by tt(blockBegin) and tt(blockEnd)
        corresponding to the absolute offset position tt(offset).

    itb(char *endPtr() const)
       Returns a pointer to the memory block's byte corresponding to offset
        tt(blockEnd()).

    itb(char *endReadPtr(size_t offset) const)
       Returns a pointer to the position in the current memory block 
        corresponding to the absolute offset position tt(offset).

    itb(int id() const)
       The ID of the memory block (cf. bf(MemoryAccess)(3bobcat)) controlling
        access to the memory data blocks is returned.

    itb(void info(std::ostream &out))
       Information about the tt(MemoryAccess) is inserted into tt(out): the
        IDs of the memory data blocks, their sizes, the current maximum number
        of memory data blocks, the number of bytes that can be read from
        the shared memory, and its actual storage capacity.

    itb(void load())
       Loads (makes available) the memory block corresponding to the current
        tt(offset).

    itb(size_t maxEnd() const)
       Returns the absolute offset position corresponding to tt(blockEnd) of
        the current last available memory block. The value returned by this
        member can be updated to a larger value after calling tt(extend()).

    itb(char *offsetPtr(size_t offset))
       Returns a pointer to the byte of the memory block corresponding to 
        the absolute offset position tt(offset).

    itb(size_t read(char *dest, size_t len, size_t offset))
       Copies at most tt(len) bytes from absolute offset position tt(offset)
        of the tt(MemoryAccess's) data to tt(dest), returning the actual
        number of copied bytes. Reading always stops when reaching the value
        returned by tt(writtenUntil()) (see below).

     itb(bool truncate(std::streamsize offset))
       This member reduces or enlarges the available memory size of a
        bf(MemoryAccess) object to tt(size). If it's reduced then the shared
        memory's data bytes from tt(size) to its original size are set to 0:
        newly allocated shared memory areas are always initialized to 0 byte
        values.

    itb(size_t write(char *src, std::streamsize len, size_t offset))
       Copies tt(len) bytes from tt(src) to the tt(MemoryAccess's) data,
        starting at the absolute offset position tt(offset), returning the
        actual number of copied bytes. Unless there's no more physical memory
        available writing succeeds. If the physical memory is exhausted an
        exception is thrown.

    itb(size_t writtenUntil() const)
       Returns the highest offset of the byte that was ever written to the
        tt(MemoryAccess). 

    itb(void writtenUntil(size_t offset) const)
       Updates the value returned by tt(writtenUntil()) to tt(offset) if
        tt(offset) is larger than that value.
    )

manpagesection(STATIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS)

    itemization(
    itb(MemoryAccess *create(std::string const &bufSize, size_t access))
       Returns a pointer to a newly created  bf(MemoryAccess) object,
        defined in the computer's shared memory.

       Note: the tt(MemoryAccess) destructor performs no actions. To erase
        the tt(MemoryAccess) object made available by tt(create) the static
        member tt(drop) (described next) should be used.

       Its default capacity is specified by tt(bufSize) (cf. section
        tt(BUFSIZE)).

        An tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown if the shared memory data segment
        could not be created.

    itb(void drop(MemoryAccess *ptr, bool erase))
       The currently attached shared memory data block and the
        tt(MemoryAccess) shared block are detached. If
        tt(erase) is tt(true) then all available shared memory blocks and the
        shared memory block containing the tt(MemoryAccess) pointed to by
        tt(ptr) are destroyed. This member is used by tt(MemoryBridge's)
        destructor to disconnect its tt(MemoryAccess) object. The
        tt(MemoryAccess) destructor performs no actions.

    itb(MemoryAccess *extend(size_t offset, MemoryAccess *ptr))
       Returns a newly allocated tt(MemoryAccess) object managing shared data
        blocks until at least the absolute offset position
        tt(offset). Following tt(extend) the information at tt(ptr) can no
        longer be used.  The caller is responsible for destroying the
        tt(MemoryAccess) object pointed to by tt(ptr).

    itb(MemoryAccess *loadID(int id))
       Returns a newly allocated tt(MemoryAccess) object managing the shared
        data blocks of the tt(MemoryAccess) object having ID tt(id)
        (cf. bf(shmat)(2)).
