Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir. The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code. Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names. The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf functions are not curlx, they are publicly available. The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by tool or server code. dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper curlx functions. When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we build/link them separately for the tool/tests. Assisted-by: Jay Satiro Closes #17253

# dynbuf
|
|
|
|
This is the internal module for creating and handling "dynamic buffers". This
|
|
means buffers that can be appended to, dynamically and grow to adapt.
|
|
|
|
There is always a terminating zero put at the end of the dynamic buffer.
|
|
|
|
The `struct dynbuf` is used to hold data for each instance of a dynamic
|
|
buffer. The members of that struct **MUST NOT** be accessed or modified
|
|
without using the dedicated dynbuf API.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_init`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
void curlx_dyn_init(struct dynbuf *s, size_t toobig);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This initializes a struct to use for dynbuf and it cannot fail. The `toobig`
|
|
value **must** be set to the maximum size we allow this buffer instance to
|
|
grow to. The functions below return `CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY` when hitting this
|
|
limit.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_free`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
void curlx_dyn_free(struct dynbuf *s);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Free the associated memory and clean up. After a free, the `dynbuf` struct can
|
|
be reused to start appending new data to.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_addn`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_addn(struct dynbuf *s, const void *mem, size_t len);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Append arbitrary data of a given length to the end of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
If this function fails it calls `curlx_dyn_free` on `dynbuf`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_add`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_add(struct dynbuf *s, const char *str);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Append a C string to the end of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
If this function fails it calls `curlx_dyn_free` on `dynbuf`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_addf`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_addf(struct dynbuf *s, const char *fmt, ...);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Append a `printf()`-style string to the end of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
If this function fails it calls `curlx_dyn_free` on `dynbuf`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_vaddf`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_vaddf(struct dynbuf *s, const char *fmt, va_list ap);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Append a `vprintf()`-style string to the end of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
If this function fails it calls `curlx_dyn_free` on `dynbuf`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_reset`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
void curlx_dyn_reset(struct dynbuf *s);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reset the buffer length, but leave the allocation.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_tail`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_tail(struct dynbuf *s, size_t length);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep `length` bytes of the buffer tail (the last `length` bytes of the
|
|
buffer). The rest of the buffer is dropped. The specified `length` must not be
|
|
larger than the buffer length. To instead keep the leading part, see
|
|
`curlx_dyn_setlen()`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_ptr`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
char *curlx_dyn_ptr(const struct dynbuf *s);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns a `char *` to the buffer if it has a length, otherwise may return
|
|
NULL. Since the buffer may be reallocated, this pointer should not be trusted
|
|
or used anymore after the next buffer manipulation call.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_uptr`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
unsigned char *curlx_dyn_uptr(const struct dynbuf *s);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns an `unsigned char *` to the buffer if it has a length, otherwise may
|
|
return NULL. Since the buffer may be reallocated, this pointer should not be
|
|
trusted or used anymore after the next buffer manipulation call.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_len`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
size_t curlx_dyn_len(const struct dynbuf *s);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns the length of the buffer in bytes. Does not include the terminating
|
|
zero byte.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_setlen`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
CURLcode curlx_dyn_setlen(struct dynbuf *s, size_t len);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sets the new shorter length of the buffer in number of bytes. Keeps the
|
|
leftmost set number of bytes, discards the rest. To instead keep the tail part
|
|
of the buffer, see `curlx_dyn_tail()`.
|
|
|
|
## `curlx_dyn_take`
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
char *curlx_dyn_take(struct dynbuf *s, size_t *plen);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Transfers ownership of the internal buffer to the caller. The dynbuf
|
|
resets to its initial state. The returned pointer may be `NULL` if the
|
|
dynbuf never allocated memory. The returned length is the amount of
|
|
data written to the buffer. The actual allocated memory might be larger.
