10 @class wxCountingOutputStream
11 @wxheader{stream.h}
12
13 wxCountingOutputStream is a specialized output stream which does not write any
14 data anywhere,
15 instead it counts how many bytes would get written if this were a normal
16 stream. This
17 can sometimes be useful or required if some data gets serialized to a stream or
18 compressed
19 by using stream compression and thus the final size of the stream cannot be
20 known other
21 than pretending to write the stream. One case where the resulting size would
22 have to be
23 known is if the data has to be written to a piece of memory and the memory has
24 to be
25 allocated before writing to it (which is probably always the case when writing
26 to a
27 memory stream).
