Issue ID: 16062
Summary: Add 'clear' method to OutBuffer (std.outbuffer)
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: jrdemail2000-dl...@yahoo.com
Enhancement request: Add an API to OutBuffer (std.outbuffer) to clear the data
in an OutBuffer. The intent is to reuse the OutBuffer, but without reallocating
the memory for the internally managed buffer. This would be similar to
std.array.appender.clear method.
It appear that this could be done by setting the 'offset' member of the
OutBuffer to zero. If this works correctly, a clear API could be exposed that
implements this.
