The const_buffer
class provides a safe representation of a buffer that cannot be modified.
It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.
The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the buffer_size and buffer_cast functions:
asio::const_buffer b1 = ...; std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1); const unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<const unsigned char*>(b1);
The asio::buffer_cast function permits violations
of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.
