Anonymous DataChunk in a non-MFC way

Introduction

If you have used the std::string and C-style string, you must think the std::string is so convenient in memory management. You can append/delete chars in any way without considering about the memory allocation. But there isn't any class for a byte stream in the std library. So, here's an implementation for a byte stream. I often use it when using Windows APIs, such as those for file operation, network, etc.

Usage

Here's the test code, I think it's so simple that a detailed explanation is not needed:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include "Easiware\DataChunk.h"

void main()
{
    Easiware::Memory::CDataChunk dc;
    
    dc    << 100
        << "test"
        << true;

    int i;
    std::string s;
    bool b;

    dc >> i >> s >> b;

    cout << i << endl
         << s << endl
         << b << endl;
}

Others

I wrote the code just after reading the book << Exceptional C++ >>, so I think this can be called an Exception-Safe class :). Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for any advice. Finally, thanks for reading this article, and sorry for my poor English.
