The class already has a
clear()
method but this leaves existing memory allocated. The purpose is to allow re-use of an existing class instance efficiently by reducing memory reallocations.The new
reset()
method allows the instance to be cleared and also release allocated memory. The new name is consistent withstd::unique_ptr::reset()
usage.A similar thing can be accomplished by using
std::unique_ptr<MemoryDataStream>
however an in-built reset() method makes for cleaner code.
