Convert vector of uint8 to string

c++, stdstring, stdvector, string, uint8t

Solution

You could just initialize the `std::string` with the sequence obtained from the `std::vector<uint8_t>`:

std::string str(v->begin(), v->end());

There is no need to play any tricks checking whether the `std::vector<uint8_t>` is empty: if it is, the range will be empty. However, you might want to check if the pointer is `v` is null. The above requires that it points to a valid object.

Problem

I have a pointer to a vector of type uint8. How would I take this pointer and convert the data in the vector into a full string representative of its content?
