How can I determine the used size/length of a buffer created with create_string_buffer?
buffer = create_string_buffer(1000)
e.g. in buffer I have 3 values and 997 unused -> how it’s possible to get the 3?
Is there any reason you can’t just do
len(buffer.value)?For pure theoretical fun of it — I see no reason to do this if you can use the above method — I’ll mention that you can also do
buffer.raw.find("\x00")orlist(buffer).index("\x00"). These fail if the string is not properly null-terminated though.
