With memory streams, mixed reads and writes are equivalent to performing
sequences of *p++, as either an lvalue or rvalue. File streams behave
similarly, but other streams might not support this. Using unbuffered
mode makes this more predictable.
Note on "unget" functions:
There are two kinds of functions here: those that operate on sized
blocks of bytes and those that operate on logical units like "character"
or "integer". The "unget" functions only work on logical units. There
is no "unget n bytes". You can only do an unget after a matching get.
However, data pushed back by an unget is available to all read operations.
The reason for this is that unget is defined in terms of its effect on
the underlying buffer (namely, it rebuffers data as if it had been
buffered but not read yet). IOS reserves the right to perform large block
operations directly, bypassing the buffer. In such a case data was
never buffered, so "rebuffering" has no meaning (i.e. there is no
correspondence between the buffer and the physical stream).
Single-bit I/O is able to write partial bytes ONLY IF the stream supports
seeking. Also, line buffering is not well-defined in the context of
single-bit I/O, so it might not do what you expect.
implementation notes:
in order to know where we are in a file, we must ensure the buffer
is only populated from the underlying stream starting with p==buf.
to switch from writing to reading: flush, set p=buf, cnt=0
to switch from reading to writing: seek backwards cnt bytes, p=buf, cnt=0
when writing: buf starts at curr. physical stream pos, p - buf is how
many bytes we've written logically. cnt==0
dirty == (bitpos>0 && state==iost_wr), EXCEPT right after switching from
reading to writing, where we might be in the middle of a byte without
having changed it.
to write a bit: if !dirty, read up to maxsize-(p-buf) into buffer, then
seek back by the same amount (undo it). write onto those bits. now set
the dirty bit. in this state, we can bit-read up to the end of the byte,
then formally switch to the read state using flush.
design points:
- data-source independence, including memory streams
- support 64-bit and large files
- efficient, low-latency buffering
- unget
- expose buffer to user, allow user-owned buffers
- allow direct I/O, don't always go through buffer
- buffer-internal seeking. makes seeking back 1-2 bytes very fast,
and makes it possible for sockets where it otherwise wouldn't be
- special support for utf8
- single-bit I/O
- tries to allow switching between reading and writing
- type-aware functions with byte-order swapping service
- position counter for meaningful data offsets with sockets
note:
the current code needs to be mostly rewritten. the design should be
as follows:
the buffer is a view of part of a file/stream. you can seek, read, and
write around in it as much as you like, as if it were just a string.
we keep track of the part of the buffer that's invalid (written to).
we remember whether the position of the underlying stream is aligned
with the end of the buffer (reading mode) or the beginning (writing mode).
based on this info, we might have to seek back before doing a flush.
as optimizations, we do no writing if the buffer isn't "dirty", and we
do no reading if the data will only be overwritten.
