## Public Member Functions
FORCEINLINE | CBlobT ()
| Default constructor - makes new Blob ready to accept any data.
FORCEINLINE | CBlobT (const Titem_ *p, bsize_t num_items)
| Constructor - makes new Blob with data.
FORCEINLINE | CBlobT (const Tbase &src)
| Copy constructor - make new blob to become copy of the original (source) blob.
FORCEINLINE | CBlobT (const OnTransfer &ot)
| Take ownership constructor.
FORCEINLINE | ~CBlobT ()
| Destructor - ensures that allocated memory (if any) is freed.
FORCEINLINE void | CheckIdx (bsize_t idx) const
| Check the validity of item index (only in debug mode).
FORCEINLINE Titem * | Data ()
| Return pointer to the first data item - non-const version.
FORCEINLINE const Titem * | Data () const
| Return pointer to the first data item - const version.
FORCEINLINE Titem * | Data (bsize_t idx)
| Return pointer to the idx-th data item - non-const version.
FORCEINLINE const Titem * | Data (bsize_t idx) const
| Return pointer to the idx-th data item - const version.
FORCEINLINE bsize_t | Size () const
| Return number of items in the Blob.
FORCEINLINE bsize_t | MaxSize () const
| Return total number of items that can fit in the Blob without buffer reallocation.
FORCEINLINE bsize_t | GetReserve () const
| Return number of additional items that can fit in the Blob without buffer reallocation.
FORCEINLINE void | Free ()
| Free the memory occupied by Blob destroying all items.
FORCEINLINE Titem * | GrowSizeNC (bsize_t num_items)
| Grow number of data items in Blob by given number - doesn't construct items.
FORCEINLINE Titem * | GrowSizeC (bsize_t num_items)
| Grow number of data items in Blob by given number - constructs new items (using Titem_'s default constructor).
FORCEINLINE void | ReduceSize (bsize_t num_items)
| Destroy given number of items and reduce the Blob's data size.
FORCEINLINE Titem * | AppendNew ()
| Append one data item at the end (calls Titem_'s default constructor).
FORCEINLINE Titem * | Append (const Titem &src)
| Append the copy of given item at the end of Blob (using copy constructor).
FORCEINLINE Titem * | Append (const Titem *pSrc, bsize_t num_items)
| Add given items (ptr + number of items) at the end of blob.
FORCEINLINE void | RemoveBySwap (bsize_t idx)
| Remove item with the given index by replacing it by the last item and reducing the size by one.
FORCEINLINE void | RemoveBySwap (Titem *pItem)
| Remove item given by pointer replacing it by the last item and reducing the size by one.
FORCEINLINE Titem * | MakeFreeSpace (bsize_t num_items)
| Ensures that given number of items can be added to the end of Blob.
FORCEINLINE OnTransfer | Transfer ()

## Detailed Description

### template<class Titem_, class Tbase_ = CBlobBaseSimple>
class CBlobT< Titem_, Tbase_ >

Blob - simple dynamic Titem_ array.

Titem_ (template argument) is a placeholder for any type. Titem_ can be any integral type, pointer, or structure. Using Blob instead of just plain C array simplifies the resource management in several ways: 1. When adding new item(s) it automatically grows capacity if needed. 2. When variable of type Blob comes out of scope it automatically frees the data buffer. 3. Takes care about the actual data size (number of used items). 4. Dynamically constructs only used items (as opposite of static array which constructs all items)

## Member Function Documentation

template<class Titem_, class Tbase_ = CBlobBaseSimple>

FORCEINLINE Titem* CBlobT< Titem_, Tbase_ >::MakeFreeSpace | ( | bsize_t | num_items | ) | `[inline]`

Ensures that given number of items can be added to the end of Blob.

Returns pointer to the first free (unused) item
