This struct provides a namespace for a suite of pure functions that perform conversions between objects of bdlt vocabulary type and their FIX representations. Each generate and generateRaw method takes a bdlt object (of type Date, DateTz, Time, TimeTz, Datetime, or DatetimeTz) and outputs its corresponding FIX representation to a user‐supplied character buffer or bsl::ostream. The parse methods effect the opposite conversion in that they populate a bdlt object from the result of parsing a FIX representation.

Synopsis

struct FixUtil;

Enums

Name

Description

Unnamed enum

This enumeration defines fixed lengths for the FIX representations of date, time, and datetime values. Note that these constants do not account for the null terminator that may be produced by the generate functions taking a bufferLength argument.

Description

generate

generate overloads

generateRaw

Write the FIX representation of the specified object to the specified buffer. Optionally specify a configuration to affect the format of the generated string. If configuration is not supplied, the process‐wide default value FixUtilConfiguration::defaultConfiguration() is used. Return the number of characters in the formatted string. buffer is not null terminated. The behavior is undefined unless buffer has sufficient capacity. Note that a buffer of size k_MAX_STRLEN + 1 is large enough to hold any string generated by this component (counting a null terminator, if any).
