如何有效解码 C std::string 中的 Base64 编码数据？

#ifndef _BASE64_H_
#define _BASE64_H_

#include <vector>
#include <string>
typedef unsigned char BYTE;

std::string base64_encode(BYTE const* buf, unsigned int bufLen);
std::vector<BYTE> base64_decode(std::string const&);

#endif

#include "base64.h"
#include <iostream>

static const std::string base64_chars =
             "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
             "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
             "0123456789+/";


static inline bool is_base64(BYTE c) {
  return (isalnum(c) || (c == '+') || (c == '/'));
}

std::string base64_encode(BYTE const* buf, unsigned int bufLen) {
  std::string ret;
  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;
  BYTE char_array_3[3];
  BYTE char_array_4[4];

  while (bufLen--) {
    char_array_3[i++] = *(buf++);
    if (i == 3) {
      char_array_4[0] = (char_array_3[0] & 0xfc) >> 2;
      char_array_4[1] = ((char_array_3[0] & 0x03) << 4) + ((char_array_3[1] & 0xf0) >> 4);
      char_array_4[2] = ((char_array_3[1] & 0x0f) << 2) + ((char_array_3[2] & 0xc0) >> 6);
      char_array_4[3] = char_array_3[2] & 0x3f;

      for(i = 0; (i <4) ; i++)
        ret += base64_chars[char_array_4[i]];
      i = 0;
    }
  }

  if (i)
  {
    for(j = i; j < 3; j++)
      char_array_3[j] = '<pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">std::vector<BYTE> myData;
...
std::string encodedData = base64_encode(&myData[0], myData.size());
std::vector<BYTE> decodedData = base64_decode(encodedData);
