Subject: [PATCH 2/4] strbuf.h: drop asciidoc list formatting from API docs
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 16:28:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141212212820.GB27451@peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141212212726.GA26284@peff.net>
Using a hanging indent is much more readable. This means we
won't format as asciidoc anymore, but since we don't have a
working system for extracting these comments anyway, it's
probably more important to just make the source readable.

* strbufs have some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
*
- * . The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
- * string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by
- * `strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though.
- * +
- * Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is
- * allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory
- * buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
- * way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`.
- * +
- * However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
- * the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive).
+ * - The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
+ * string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by

*
- * . The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes
- * allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the
- * `buf` member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
- * invariant is preserved.
- * +
- * NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this
- * way:
- * +
- * ----
- * strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1>
- * strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);

- * +
- * NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`.
- * +
- * Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
- * missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
