[Boost-users] How to pass memory range to functions?

Hi,

I've got a lot of functions (compression, encryption, hashing,
encoding, etc) that work on a memory range.
I wrote my own class that has constructors for
void*, void*
void*, size_t
std::string&
and that automatically reinterpret_cast to unsigned char*.

But I'm wondering, is there a better way to do this?
Boost.Range looked appriopriate but it seemed it didn't support this scenario.
