Platform::WriteOnlyArray Class
Represents a one-dimensional array that's used as an input parameter when the caller passes an array for the method to fill.
This ref class is declared as private in vccorlib.h; therefore, it's not emitted in metadata and is only consumable from C++. This class is intended only for use as an input parameter that receives an array that the caller has allocated. It is not constructible from user code. It enables a C++ method to write directly into that array—a pattern that's known as the FillArray pattern. For more information, see Array and WriteOnlyArray.
Syntax
private ref class WriteOnlyArray<T, 1>
Members
Public Methods
These methods have internal accessibility—that is, they are only accessible within the C++ app or component.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| WriteOnlyArray::begin | An iterator that points to the first element of the array. |
| WriteOnlyArray::Data | A pointer to the data buffer. |
| WriteOnlyArray::end | An iterator that points to one past the last element in the array. |
| WriteOnlyArray::FastPass | Indicates whether the array can use the FastPass mechanism, which is an optimization transparently performed by the system. Don't use this in your code |
| WriteOnlyArray::Length | Returns the number of elements in the array. |
| WriteOnlyArray::set | Sets the specified element to the specified value. |

WriteOnlyArray::begin Method
Returns a pointer to the first element in the array.
Syntax
T* begin() const;
Return Value
A pointer to the first element in the array.
Remarks
This iterator can be used with STL algorithms such as std::sort to operate on elements in the array.
WriteOnlyArray::Data Property
Pointer to the data buffer.
Syntax
property T* Data{
T* get() const;
}
Return Value
A pointer to the raw array bytes.
WriteOnlyArray::end Method
Returns a pointer to one past the last element in the array.
Syntax
T* end() const;
Return Value
A pointer iterator to one past the last element in the array.
Remarks
This iterator can be used with STL algorithms to perform operations such as std::sort on the array elements.
WriteOnlyArray::FastPass Property
Indicates whether the internal FastPass optimization can be performed. Not intended for use by user code.
Syntax
property bool FastPass{
bool get() const;
}
Return Value
Boolean value that indicates whether the array is FastPass.
WriteOnlyArray::get Method
Returns the element at the specified index.
Syntax
T& get(unsigned int indexArg) const;
Parameters
indexArg
The index to use.
Return Value
WriteOnlyArray::Length Property
Returns the number of elements in the caller-allocated array.
Syntax
property unsigned int Length{
unsigned int get() const;
}
Return Value
The number of elements in the array.
WriteOnlyArray::set Function
Sets the specified value at the specified index in the array.
Syntax
T& set(
unsigned int indexArg,
T valueArg);
Parameters
indexArg
The index of the element to set.
valueArg
The value to set at indexArg.
Return Value
A reference to the element that was just set.
Remarks
