I am making use of C++ msgpack implementation. I have hit a roadblock as to how to pack binary data. In terms of binary data I have a buffer of the following type:
unsigned char* data;
The data variable points to an array which is actually an image. What I want to do is pack this using msgpack. There seems to be no example of how to actually pack binary data. From the format specification raw bytes are supported, but I am not sure how to make use of the functionality.
I tried using a vector of character pointers like the following:
msgpack::sbuffer temp_sbuffer;
std::vector<char*> vec;
msgpack::pack(temp_sbuffer, vec);
But this results in a compiler error since there is no function template for T=std::vector.
I have also simply tried the following:
msgpack::pack(temp_sbuffer, "Hello");
But this also results in a compilation error (i.e. no function template for T=const char [6]
Thus, I was hoping someone could give me advice on how to use msgpack C++ to pack binary data represented as a char array.
