41 * A light weight class for writing an internal dimuon HLT data block.
42 * Suppose we are given a pointer 'buffer' to some empty memory buffer where we
43 * can store our new data block and the size of the data block is given by the
44 * variable 'size'. The data block is of type 'block_type', the data block entries
45 * are of type 'entries_type' and the data block type code is 'type_code'.
46 * The data block can be written in the following way:
48 * void* buffer = somebuffer;
49 * AliHLTUInt32_t size = somebuffer_size;
51 * // Initialise the data block writer.
52 * AliHLTMUONDataBlockWriter<block_type, entries_type, type_code>
53 * block(buffer, size);
55 * // Initialise the block header
56 * if (not block.InitCommonHeader())
58 * // handle error and exit...
61 * // Tell the writer how many entries we are going to use.
62 * if (not block.SetNumberOfEntries(somevalue))
64 * // handle error and exit...
67 * // Add all the entries to the data block.
68 * for (AliHLTUInt32_t i = 0; i < block.Nentries(); i++)
70 * entries_type& entry = block[i];
71 * // fill the new entry...
72 * entry.somefield = somevalue;
75 * The slightly slower but safer method is to do the following:
77 * AliHLTMUONDataBlockWriter<block_type, entries_type, type_code>
78 * block(buffer, size);
79 * if (not block.InitCommonHeader())
81 * // handle error and exit...
84 * // For each new entry add it to the data block.
85 * while (HaveMoreEntries())
87 * entries_type* entry = block.AddEntry();
90 * // handle buffer overflow and exit...
92 * // fill the new entry...
93 * entry->somefield = somevalue;
