Hi Daniel,

I was thinking about adding svn__compress_stringbuf() wrapper around
svn__compress(), but then decided that it doesn't worth efforts given
that svn__compress() used with stringbuf in just few places.
Using svn_string_t is not useful also, because data referenced by
svn_string_t->data must be NUL terminated, which is inconvenient for
callers in some cases. Like stream parser. The old code was passing
incorrect stringbuf_t:
[[[
-static svn_error_t *
-zlib_decode(const unsigned char *in, apr_size_t inLen, svn_stringbuf_t *out,
- apr_size_t limit)
-{
- /* construct a fake string buffer as parameter to svn__decompress.
- This is fine as that function never writes to it. */
- svn_stringbuf_t compressed;
- compressed.pool = NULL;
- compressed.data = (char *)in;
- compressed.len = inLen;
- compressed.blocksize = inLen + 1;
-
- return svn__decompress(&compressed, out, limit);
-}
]]]
What could be useful svn__decompress_stringbuf() with semantic to
decompress buffer in-place. This often happens when FSFS/FSX
decompress revprops that are not compresed by default.
