The gory details are explained in strbuf.h. The change of semantics this patch enforces is that the embeded buffer has always a '\0' character after its last byte, to always make it a C-string. The offs-by-one changes are all related to that very change. A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function, because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure. A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer, and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again. Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.

/*
|
|
* Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
|
|
* long, overflow safe strings.
|
|
*
|
|
* Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
|
|
*
|
|
* 1. the ->buf member is always malloc-ed, hence strbuf's can be used to
|
|
* build complex strings/buffers whose final size isn't easily known.
|
|
*
|
|
* It is legal to copy the ->buf pointer away. Though if you want to reuse
|
|
* the strbuf after that, setting ->buf to NULL isn't legal.
|
|
* `strbuf_detach' is the operation that detachs a buffer from its shell
|
|
* while keeping the shell valid wrt its invariants.
|
|
*
|
|
* 2. the ->buf member is a byte array that has at least ->len + 1 bytes
|
|
* allocated. The extra byte is used to store a '\0', allowing the ->buf
|
|
* member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
|
|
* invariant is preserved.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
|
|
* that way:
|
|
*
|
|
* strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
|
|
* // ... here the memory areay starting at sb->buf, and of length
|
|
* // sb_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that sb_avail(sb) is at
|
|
* // least SOME_SIZE
|
|
* strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
|
|
*
|
|
* Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to sb_avail(sb).
|
|
*
|
|
* Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
|
|
* missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
|
|
*
|
|
* XXX: do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size ->alloc - 1
|
|
* even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
|
|
* "private" member that should not be messed with.
