Jonathan Nieder	7e2fe3a9fc	vcs-svn: remove buffer_read_string All previous users of buffer_read_string have already been converted to use the more intuitive buffer_read_binary, so remove the old API to avoid some confusion. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>	14 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	26557fc1b3	vcs-svn: make buffer_copy_bytes return length read Currently buffer_copy_bytes does not report to its caller whether it encountered an early end of file. Add a return value representing the number of bytes read (but not the number of bytes copied). This way all three unusual conditions can be distinguished: input error with buffer_ferror, output error with ferror(outfile), early end of input by checking the return value.

Jonathan Nieder	d234f54b2f	vcs-svn: make buffer_skip_bytes return length read Currently there is no way to detect when input ended if it ended early during buffer_skip_bytes. Tell the calling program how many bytes were actually skipped for easier debugging. Existing callers will still ignore early EOF.

Jonathan Nieder	93b709c79e	vcs-svn: improve support for reading large files Move from uint32_t to off_t as the fundamental unit of length used by the line_buffer library. Performance would get worse if anything but I think it's worth it for support of deltas that need to skip large pieces (> 4 GiB). Exception: buffer_read_string still takes a uint32_t, since it keeps its result in an in-core obj_pool. Callers still have to be updated to take advantage of this.

Jonathan Nieder	efc749b48f	vcs-svn: allow input errors to be detected promptly The line_buffer library silently flags input errors until buffer_deinit time; unfortunately, by that point usually errno is invalid. Expose the error flag so callers can check for and report errors early for easy debugging. some_error_prone_operation(...); if (buffer_ferror(buf)) return error("input error: %s", strerror(errno)); Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>	14 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	b1c9b798a6	vcs-svn: teach line_buffer about temporary files It can sometimes be useful to write information temporarily to file, to read back later. These functions allow a program to use the line_buffer facilities when doing so. It works like this: 1. find a unique filename with buffer_tmpfile_init. 2. rewind with buffer_tmpfile_rewind. This returns a stdio handle for writing. 3. when finished writing, declare so with buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read. The return value indicates how many bytes were written. 4. read whatever portion of the file is needed. 5. if finished, remove the temporary file with buffer_deinit. otherwise, go back to step 2, The svn support would use this to buffer the postimage from delta application until the length is known and fast-import can receive the resulting blob.

Jonathan Nieder	cc193f1f0b	vcs-svn: allow character-oriented input buffer_read_char can be used in place of buffer_read_string(1) to avoid consuming valuable static buffer space. The delta applier will use this to read variable-length integers one byte at a time. Underneath, it is fgetc, wrapped so the line_buffer library can maintain its role as gatekeeper of input. Later it might be worth checking if fgetc_unlocked is faster --- most line_buffer functions are not thread-safe anyway.

Jonathan Nieder	e832f43c1d	vcs-svn: add binary-safe read function buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually written. This means that unless one is very careful about checking for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the string "foo\0bar\0baz". So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper around strbuf_fread. Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

Jonathan Nieder	e5e45ca1e3	vcs-svn: teach line_buffer to handle multiple input files Collect the line_buffer state in a newly public line_buffer struct. Callers can use multiple line_buffers to manage input from multiple files at a time. svn-fe's delta applier will use this to stream a delta from svnrdump and the preimage it applies to from fast-import at the same time. The tests don't take advantage of the new features, but I think that's okay. It is easier to find lingering examples of nonreentrant code by searching for "static" in line_buffer.c.

Jonathan Nieder	d350822fa7	vcs-svn: collect line_buffer data in a struct Prepare for the line_buffer lib to support input from multiple files, by collecting global state in a struct that can be easily passed around. No API change yet. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>	14 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	deadcef4c1	vcs-svn: replace buffer_read_string memory pool with a strbuf obj_pool is inherently global and does not use the standard growing factor alloc_nr, which makes it feel out of place in the git codebase. Plus it is overkill for this application: all that is needed is a buffer that can grow between requests to accomodate larger strings. Use a strbuf instead. As a side effect, this improves the error handling: allocation failures will result in a clean exit instead of segfaults. It would be nice to add a test case (using ulimit or failmalloc) but that can wait for another day. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>	14 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	4d21bec0d2	vcs-svn: eliminate global byte_buffer The data stored in byte_buffer[] is always either discarded or written to stdout immediately. No need for it to persist between function calls. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>	14 years ago
David Barr	3bbaec00a8	Add stream helper library This library provides thread-unsafe fgets()- and fread()-like functions where the caller does not have to supply a buffer. It maintains a couple of static buffers and provides an API to use them.
