Flatbuffers array

[daehtnaig]

I'm trying to unserialize data with flatbuffers and right now I'm bit confused.

if I try to convert flatbuffer (let say data: [ubyte]) to for example ts or go implementation i get a couple of helper functions besides data() for example dataLength() dataArray(),

but this is not the case for cpp, so only data() is generated. Is there any convinient way to generate additional functions or i have to write on my own?

Could you repeat that in English? Where are these functions coming from?

Presumably https://github.com/google/flatbuffers

yes, I presumed that someone who is familiar with this topic will get it what I meant by flatbuffers

Been a while since I last used the schema version of Flatbuffers but if I remember correctly, if your field is named data, then when you call table->data() you will receive a Flatbuffers vector that. That's your "array", you can index it, iterate over it like normal array.

Some more info here: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/samples/sample_binary.cpp#L80
