pushpull
simple marshalling/unmarshalling routines
Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
This code lets you clearly add simple types into a buffer (the push functions) and remove them (the pull functions). The buffer stores the values as little-endian for machine portability. The pull functions don't need to be checked on every call, but error state is kept so you can check if there was an error at the end.
The normal way to use this is to create your own higher-level marshal and unmarshal functions in terms of these.

if (argv[1] && !strcmp(argv[1], "push")) {
int i;
char *buf = malloc(1);
size_t len = 0;
// We ignore allocation failure!
for (i = 2; i < argc; i++)
push_u32(&buf, &len, atol(argv[i]));
write(STDOUT_FILENO, buf, len);
} else if (argc == 2 && !strcmp(argv[1], "pull")) {
int r, max = 32;
size_t len = 0;
char *buf = malloc(max);
const char *p;
uint32_t val;
while ((r = read(STDIN_FILENO, buf+len, max-len)) > 0) {
len += r;
if (len == max) {
max *= 2;
// We crash on allocation failure
buf = realloc(buf, max);
}
}
p = buf;
while (pull_u32(&p, &len, &val))
printf("%u ", val);
} else
errx(1, "Usage: %s [push|pull] [<number>...]", argv[0]);
return 0;
