msgpack_object_print in buffer

[smititelu]

Hi,

Currently, is there a function that can print the object in a buffer? Something like msgpack_object_print(stdout, obj); but having a buffer instead of file.

Thanks,
Stefan

The c++ part of msgpack-c has the functionality. See http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/sFU79DWMWQsV32ey

The C part doesn't.

I mean the C++ version can replace std::cout with std::stringstream, and then get the buffer as string using std::stringstream::str().

I'm not sure the similar way in C, but the following infomation might be helpful:

I've created pull request #500, which adds a new function to print the msgpack_object in an allocated buffer.
Please tell me if something needs to be updated.
