Detailed Description

Array of bytes that may be optionally secured.

This class is mostly unusable on its own. Either use it as a SecureArray subclass or call toByteArray() to convert to QByteArray.

Note that this class is implicitly shared (that is, copy on write).

Examples
aes-cmac.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MemoryRegion() [1/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( const char * str)

Constructs a new Memory Region from a null terminated character array.

Parameters
strpointer to the array of data to copy

◆ MemoryRegion() [2/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( const QByteArray & from)

Constructs a new MemoryRegion from the data in a byte array.

Parameters
fromthe QByteArray to copy from

◆ MemoryRegion() [3/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( const MemoryRegion & from)

Standard copy constructor.

Parameters
fromthe MemoryRegion to copy from

◆ MemoryRegion() [4/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( bool secure)
protected

Create a memory region, optionally using secure storage.

Parameters
secureif this is true, the memory region will use secure storage.
Note
This will create a memory region without any content (i.e. both isNull() and isEmpty() will return true.

◆ MemoryRegion() [5/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( int size,
bool secure )
protected

Create a memory region, optionally using secure storage.

Parameters
sizethe number of bytes in the memory region.
secureif this is true, the memory region will use secure storage.

◆ MemoryRegion() [6/6]

QCA::MemoryRegion::MemoryRegion ( const QByteArray & from,
bool secure )
protected

Create a memory region, optionally using secure storage.

This constructor variant allows you to initialize the memory region from an existing array.

Parameters
fromthe byte array to copy from.
secureif this is true, the memory region will use secure storage.

Member Function Documentation

◆ at() [1/2]

char & QCA::MemoryRegion::at ( int index)
protected

Obtain the value of the memory location at the specified position.

Parameters
indexthe offset into the memory region.
Note
The contents of a memory region are between 0 and size()-1. The content at position size() is always a null terminator.

◆ at() [2/2]

const char & QCA::MemoryRegion::at ( int index) const

Obtain the value of the memory location at the specified position.

Parameters
indexthe offset into the memory region.
Note
The contents of a memory region are between 0 and size()-1. The content at position size() is always a null terminator.

◆ constData()

const char * QCA::MemoryRegion::constData ( ) const

Convert the contents of the memory region to a C-compatible character array.

This consists of size() bytes, followed by a null terminator.

See also
toByteArray for an alternative approach.
data which is equivalent to this method

◆ data() [1/2]

char * QCA::MemoryRegion::data ( )
protected

Convert the contents of the memory region to a C-compatible character array.

This consists of size() bytes, followed by a null terminator.

◆ data() [2/2]

const char * QCA::MemoryRegion::data ( ) const

Convert the contents of the memory region to a C-compatible character array.

This consists of size() bytes, followed by a null terminator.

See also
toByteArray for an alternative approach.
constData, which is equivalent to this method, but avoids the possibility that the compiler picks the wrong version.

◆ isEmpty()

bool QCA::MemoryRegion::isEmpty ( ) const

Returns true if the size of the memory region is zero.

◆ isNull()

bool QCA::MemoryRegion::isNull ( ) const

Test if the MemoryRegion is null (i.e.

was created as a null array, and hasn't been resized).

This is probably not what you are trying to do. If you are trying to determine whether there are any bytes in the array, use isEmpty() instead.

◆ isSecure()

bool QCA::MemoryRegion::isSecure ( ) const

Test if the MemoryRegion is using secure memory, or not.

In this context, memory is secure if it will not be paged out to disk.

Returns
true if the memory region is secure

◆ operator=() [1/2]

MemoryRegion & QCA::MemoryRegion::operator= ( const MemoryRegion & from)

Standard assignment operator.

Parameters
fromthe MemoryRegion to copy from

◆ operator=() [2/2]

MemoryRegion & QCA::MemoryRegion::operator= ( const QByteArray & from)

Standard assignment operator.

Parameters
fromthe QByteArray to copy from

◆ resize()

bool QCA::MemoryRegion::resize ( int size)
protected

Resize the memory region to the specified size.

Parameters
sizethe new size of the region.

◆ set()

void QCA::MemoryRegion::set ( const QByteArray & from,
bool secure )
protected

Modify the memory region to match a specified byte array.

This resizes the memory region as required to match the byte array size.

Parameters
fromthe byte array to copy from.
secureif this is true, the memory region will use secure storage.

◆ setSecure()

void QCA::MemoryRegion::setSecure ( bool secure)
protected

Convert the memory region to use the specified memory type.

This may involve copying data from secure to insecure storage, or from insecure to secure storage.

Parameters
secureif true, use secure memory; otherwise use insecure memory.

◆ size()

int QCA::MemoryRegion::size ( ) const

Returns the number of bytes in the memory region.

◆ toByteArray()

QByteArray QCA::MemoryRegion::toByteArray ( ) const

Convert this memory region to a byte array.

Note
For secure data, this will make it insecure
See also
data() and constData() for other ways to convert to an "accessible" format.
Examples
aes-cmac.cpp, and saslclient.cpp.
