C++ only : Note that for unbridged (e.g., in-process)
calls, using the same sequence for repetive readBytes()-calls
can bear a performance advantage. The callee can put the data
directly into the sequence so that no buffer reallocation is
necessary.
But this holds only when
<ol>
<li> neither caller nor callee keep a second reference to the same
sequence.
<li> the sequence is pre-allocated with the requested number of bytes.
<li> the same sequence is reused ( simply preallocationg a new
sequence for every call bears no advantage ).
<li> the call is not bridged (e.g., betweeen different compilers
or different processes ).
</ol>
If the same 'optimized' code runs against an interface in a different process,
there is an unnecessary memory allocation/deallocation (the out parameter
is of course NOT transported over the connection), but this should
be negligible compared to a synchron call.
