  bitbuf.CreateStackReadBuffer( string data, function callback )
0.8

Description

Creates a read buffer from the given data allocated on the stack making it faster.
Useful if you want to read the userdata of the instancebaseline stringtable.

The buffer will be stack allocated, do NOT call this function recursively and the buffer is only valid inside the callback function.
This is because you could cause a crash if you were to create too many stack allocated buffers!

The size is clamped internally between a minimum of 4 bytes and a maximum of 65536 bytes on Linux and to 8192 on Windows.
