Just a note to people who are thinking of copying and pasting this into their projects: don't! There are several issues with the example here, and I've unfortunately seen people copying this into their productions systems before.
If you are looking for a safer modern Cpp Base64 alternative, I've made a post on how to write a good C++ Base64 encoder. At the very least you will learn how base64 encoding works.
Thank you @tomykaira
C version: https://github.com/skullchap/b64/
static std::string Encode(const std::string data)
Did you forget a '&'?
+1 @ravstrix , otherwise this seems like a copy
when the input data length is 1, it will be crashed.
static std::string Encode(const std::string data) {
static constexpr char sEncodingTable[] = {
'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H',
'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P',
'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X',
'Y', 'Z', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f',
'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n',
'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v',
'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', '0', '1', '2', '3',
'4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '+', '/'
};
size_t in_len = data.size();
size_t out_len = 4 * ((in_len + 2) / 3);
std::string ret(out_len, '\0');
size_t i = 0;
char *p = const_cast<char*>(ret.c_str());
if (in_len >= 2) {
for (i = 0; i < in_len - 2; i += 3) {
*p++ = sEncodingTable[(data[i] >> 2) & 0x3F];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i] & 0x3) << 4) | ((int) (data[i + 1] & 0xF0) >> 4)];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i + 1] & 0xF) << 2) | ((int) (data[i + 2] & 0xC0) >> 6)];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[data[i + 2] & 0x3F];
}
}
if (i < in_len) {
*p++ = sEncodingTable[(data[i] >> 2) & 0x3F];
if (i == (in_len - 1)) {
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i] & 0x3) << 4)];
*p++ = '=';
}
else {
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i] & 0x3) << 4) | ((int) (data[i + 1] & 0xF0) >> 4)];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i + 1] & 0xF) << 2)];
}
*p++ = '=';
}
return ret;
}
I fixed this:
size_t i=0; // init i=0
char* p = const_cast<char*>(ret.c_str());
if (in_len >= 2) { // skip when in_len less than 2
for (i = 0; i < in_len - 2; i += 3) {
*p++ = sEncodingTable[(data[i] >> 2) & 0x3F];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i] & 0x3) << 4) | ((int)(data[i + 1] & 0xF0) >> 4)];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[((data[i + 1] & 0xF) << 2) | ((int)(data[i + 2] & 0xC0) >> 6)];
*p++ = sEncodingTable[data[i + 2] & 0x3F];
}
}
I think the Encode method should be like this:
static std::string Encode(const char *data, size_t in_len )
Because chat* to std::string may lost some data. The std::string ended by '\0'.
Yes, than I can use the func to encode a image data.
Everyone, thank you very much for the discussions.
I fixed pointed bugs and version dependent behavior.
This is just a small example for Base64 encoding/decoding. Feel free to adapt it to your needs, like handling binary data 😄
omg this gist is still alive
omg this gist is still alive
Yes indeed. I am suprised as well.
Currently I am trying to copying-pasting some codes from one project(which established in 2021) to another, which is using a header only base64 algorithm from here, till now I realize this piece of code still have issues left.
So does anyone know is there any better alternatives for header-only version of base64 algorithm ?
To @tomykaira:
Thanks a lot for your effort, your codes helped us greatly. But according to the discussion above, from my perspective, I would personally recommend to use std::vector for the return value of 'Encode' instead of std::string, and also for the input parameter of 'Decode', since usually the raw data is not human readable text, which is not necessary a 'string' .
What's more, personally I don't think return error message with a string value is a good practice. I would prefer using exception in modern C++, or leverage std::expect in C++20, or, the old school style way, use an predefined integer error code, since you don't have too many error types here, but you can still put some more later .
What's more, about frequently discussed 'const_cast' thing, what about using std::string::iterator instead ? So this line
char *p = const_cast<char *>(ret.c_str());
Will become
std::string::iterator p = ret.begin();
Pretty neat isn't it ? And better add if (p == ret.end()) within the loop for safety .
@Paril,
And from the document you just cited under 21.4.7.1 basic_string accessors for
data
andc_str
(p. 659):
