Convert RespMsg key to std::string

Hello, we are suing RFA 8.1 C++ api's with MBP domain. We receive "key" in Buffer type. The type of the "Buffer::c_buf()" is "unsigned char *" where as std::string requires "char *". Is using DataBuffer::getAsString" is safe in this case?

    Sorry about the issue that you are facing.

    The key primitive type is a buffer, not a string.

    It is better to use getBuffer(), as shown in the example code.

            case DataBuffer::BufferEnum:
            {
                const Buffer& buf = dataBuffer.getBuffer();
                sData = new char[buf.size() + 1];


                strncpy( sData, (char*)buf.c_buf(), buf.size() );
                sData[ buf.size() ] = '\0';
                write( "%s", sData );


                delete[] sData;
            }

    I hope that this information is of help.
