5 * NOTE FOR STRBUF DEVELOPERS
7 * strbuf is a low-level primitive; as such it should interact only
8 * with other low-level primitives. Do not introduce new functions
9 * which interact with higher-level APIs.
12 struct string_list;
14 /**
15 * strbuf's are meant to be used with all the usual C string and memory
16 * APIs. Given that the length of the buffer is known, it's often better to
17 * use the mem* functions than a str* one (memchr vs. strchr e.g.).
18 * Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often
19 * stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs.
21 * A strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the
22 * strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs.
24 * strbufs have some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
26 * - The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
27 * string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by
28 * `strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though.
30 * Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is
31 * allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory
32 * buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
33 * way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`.
35 * However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
36 * the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive).
38 * - The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes
39 * allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the
40 * `buf` member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
41 * invariant is preserved.
43 * NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this
44 * way:
46 * strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1>
47 * strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
49 * <1> Here, the memory array starting at `sb->buf`, and of length
50 * `strbuf_avail(sb)` is all yours, and you can be sure that
51 * `strbuf_avail(sb)` is at least `SOME_SIZE`.
53 * NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`.
55 * Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
56 * missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
58 * WARNING: Do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size `alloc
59 * - 1` even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
60 * "private" member that should not be messed with. Use `strbuf_avail()`
61 * instead.
