Typedef Documentation

typedef struct grpc_slice grpc_slice

typedef struct grpc_slice_refcount grpc_slice_refcount

Reference count container for grpc_slice.

Contains function pointers to increment and decrement reference counts. Implementations should cleanup when the reference count drops to zero. Typically client code should not touch this, and use grpc_slice_malloc, grpc_slice_new, or grpc_slice_new_with_len instead.

typedef struct grpc_slice_refcount_vtable grpc_slice_refcount_vtable

Slice API.

A slice represents a contiguous reference counted array of bytes. It is cheap to take references to a slice, and it is cheap to create a slice pointing to a subset of another slice.

The data-structure for slices is exposed here to allow non-gpr code to build slices from whatever data they have available.

When defining interfaces that handle slices, care should be taken to define reference ownership semantics (who should call unref?) and mutability constraints (is the callee allowed to modify the slice?)
