c++ - std::string or std::vector<char> to hold raw data -

-

i hope question appropriate stackoverflow... difference between storing raw data bytes (8 bits) in std::string rather storing them in std::vector<char>. i'm reading binary data file , storing raw bytes in std::string. works well, there no problems or issues doing this. program works expected. however, other programmers prefer std::vector<char> approach , suggest stop using std::string it's unsafe raw bytes. i'm wondering why might unsafe use std::string hold raw data bytes? know std::string used store ascii text, byte byte, don't understand preference of std::vector<char>.

thanks advice!

the problem not whether works or doesn't. problem is utterly confusing next guy reading code. std::string meant displaying text. reading code expect that. you'll declare intent better std::vector<char>.

it increases wtf/min in code reviews.

i need determine per-process network usage statistics similar tcpview can do. example http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/861/6601f15814544055a590e26.png so before shoot me posting duplicate of this question , or this question , point out neither of have thorough answer me this. i've been doing research, , there many ways list out active connections , associated processes, whether netstat or other windows api's iphlpapi.dll . now, google'ing i've done, have not found - except these vague terms: getpertcpconnectionestats , getpertcp6connectionestats . presumably tcp on ipv4 , ipv6 respectively. reading supposedly able need do. however, still leaves out udp. , not available on xp systems, tcpviewer works on. i satisfied using tcp, problem is, can't seem find examples of how use them c#. so guess boils down these few questions: does know how tcpview it? how use getpertcpconnectionestats tcp? or can accomplish i'm suggesting? is there known alte...
