NAME

AI::TensorFlow::Libtensorflow::Buffer - Buffer that holds pointer to data with length

SYNOPSIS

  use aliased 'AI::TensorFlow::Libtensorflow::Buffer' => 'Buffer';

DESCRIPTION

TFBuffer is a data structure that stores a pointer to a block of data, the length of the data, and optionally a deallocator function for memory management.

This structure is typically used in libtensorflow to store the data for a serialized protocol buffer.

CONSTRUCTORS

New

New()

  my $buffer = Buffer->New();

  ok $buffer, 'created an empty buffer';
  is $buffer->length, 0, 'with a length of 0';

Create an empty buffer. Useful for passing as an output parameter.

Returns

TFBuffer

Empty buffer.

C API: TF_NewBuffer

NewFromString

NewFromString( $proto )

Makes a copy of the input and sets an appropriate deallocator. Useful for passing in read-only, input protobufs.

  my $data = 'bytes';
  my $buffer = Buffer->NewFromString(\$data);
  ok $buffer, 'create buffer from string';
  is $buffer->length, bytes::length($data), 'same length as string';

Parameters

ScalarRef[Bytes] $proto

Returns

TFBuffer

Contains a copy of the input data from $proto.

C API: TF_NewBufferFromString

ATTRIBUTES

data

An opaque pointer to the buffer.

length

Length of the buffer as a size_t.

data_deallocator

A CodeRef for the deallocator.

DESTRUCTORS

DESTROY

C API: TF_DeleteBuffer
