BSON_VECTOR_INT8_CONST_VIEW_T(3)

💅 bson_vector_int8_const_view_t 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the <bson/bson.h> corner of libbson, where we're talking about a reference to non-owned const BSON Binary data holding a valid Vector of int8 element type. yes that's a mouthful, we'll get through it together 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <bson/bson.h>

typedef struct bson_vector_int8_const_view_t {
   /*< private >*/
} bson_vector_int8_const_view_t;

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so bson_vector_int8_const_view_t is a struct that's basically a little peek-only window 👀 — it acts as an opaque const reference to a block of memory that has been validated as an int8 vector.

the way it's meant to be used? pass it by value, and you can literally discard it whenever, no strings attached 💅 the contents of the struct itself are private — like, don't touch, that's not for you, mind your business 🙈.

⚠️ important, do NOT skip this: the bson_t MUST be valid for the lifetime of the view, and it is an error to modify the bson_t while you're using the view. no cap. modifying it mid-view is giving undefined chaos and we don't do that 🌸

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

bson_iter_t iter;
bson_vector_int8_const_view_t view;

if (bson_iter_init_find (&iter, &doc, "vector") && bson_vector_int8_const_view_from_iter (&view, &iter)) {
  size_t length = bson_vector_int8_const_view_length (view);
  printf ("Elements in 'vector':\n");
  for (size_t i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    int8_t element;
    BSON_ASSERT (bson_vector_int8_const_view_read (view, &element, 1, i));
    printf (" [%d] = %d\n", (int) i, (int) element);
  }
}
