33 /* GVariantSerialiser
35 * After this prologue section, this file has roughly 2 parts.
37 * The first part is split up into sections according to various
38 * container types. Maybe, Array, Tuple, Variant. The Maybe and Array
39 * sections are subdivided for element types being fixed or
40 * variable-sized types.
42 * Each section documents the format of that particular type of
43 * container and implements 5 functions for dealing with it:
45 * n_children:
46 * - determines (according to serialised data) how many child values
47 * are inside a particular container value.
49 * get_child:
50 * - gets the type of and the serialised data corresponding to a
51 * given child value within the container value.
53 * needed_size:
54 * - determines how much space would be required to serialise a
55 * container of this type, containing the given children so that
56 * buffers can be preallocated before serialising.
58 * serialise:
59 * - write the serialised data for a container of this type,
60 * containing the given children, to a buffer.
62 * is_normal:
63 * - check the given data to ensure that it is in normal form. For a
64 * given set of child values, there is exactly one normal form for
65 * the serialised data of a container. Other forms are possible
66 * while maintaining the same children (for example, by inserting
67 * something other than zero bytes as padding) but only one form is
68 * the normal form.
70 * The second part contains the main entry point for each of the above 5
71 * functions and logic to dispatch it to the handler for the appropriate
72 * container type code.
74 * The second part also contains a routine to byteswap serialised
75 * values. This code makes use of the n_children() and get_child()
76 * functions above to do its work so no extra support is needed on a
77 * per-container-type basis.
79 * There is also additional code for checking for normal form. All
80 * numeric types are always in normal form since the full range of
81 * values is permitted (eg: 0 to 255 is a valid byte). Special checks
82 * need to be performed for booleans (only 0 or 1 allowed), strings
83 * (properly nul-terminated) and object paths and signature strings
84 * (meeting the D-Bus specification requirements).

88 * GVariantSerialised:
89 * @type_info: the #GVariantTypeInfo of this value
90 * @data: (nullable): the serialised data of this value, or %NULL
91 * @size: the size of this value
93 * A structure representing a GVariant in serialised form. This
94 * structure is used with #GVariantSerialisedFiller functions and as the
95 * primary interface to the serialiser. See #GVariantSerialisedFiller
96 * for a description of its use there.
98 * When used with the serialiser API functions, the following invariants
99 * apply to all #GVariantTypeSerialised structures passed to and
100 * returned from the serialiser.
102 * @type_info must be non-%NULL.
104 * @data must be properly aligned for the type described by @type_info.
106 * If @type_info describes a fixed-sized type then @size must always be
107 * equal to the fixed size of that type.
109 * For fixed-sized types (and only fixed-sized types), @data may be
110 * %NULL even if @size is non-zero. This happens when a framing error
111 * occurs while attempting to extract a fixed-sized value out of a
112 * variable-sized container. There is no data to return for the
113 * fixed-sized type, yet @size must be non-zero. The effect of this
114 * combination should be as if @data were a pointer to an
115 * appropriately-sized zero-filled region.

215 * Maybe types are handled depending on if the element type of the maybe

217 * types themselves are variable-sized types, herein, a maybe value with
218 * a fixed-sized element type is called a "fixed-sized maybe" for

228 * the case where the size of the maybe value is equal to the fixed size
229 * of the element type corresponds to the "Just" case; in that case, the
230 * serialised data of the child value forms the entire serialised data
231 * of the maybe value.
233 * In the event that a fixed-sized maybe value is presented with a size
234 * that is not equal to the fixed size of the element type then the
235 * value must be taken to be "Nothing".

507 /* Variable-sized Array {{{3
509 * Variable sized arrays, containing variable-sized elements, must be
510 * able to determine the boundaries between the elements. The items
511 * cannot simply be concatenated. Additionally, we are faced with the
512 * fact that non-fixed-sized values do not necessarily have a size that
513 * is a multiple of their alignment requirement, so we may need to
514 * insert zero-filled padding.
516 * While it is possible to find the start of an item by starting from
517 * the end of the item before it and padding for alignment, it is not
518 * generally possible to do the reverse operation. For this reason, we
519 * record the end point of each element in the array.
521 * GVariant works in terms of "offsets". An offset is a pointer to a
522 * boundary between two bytes. In 4 bytes of serialised data, there
523 * would be 5 possible offsets: one at the start ('0'), one between each
524 * pair of adjacent bytes ('1', '2', '3') and one at the end ('4').
526 * The numeric value of an offset is an unsigned integer given relative
527 * to the start of the serialised data of the array. Offsets are always
528 * stored in little endian byte order and are always only as big as they
529 * need to be. For example, in 255 bytes of serialised data, there are
530 * 256 offsets. All possibilities can be stored in an 8 bit unsigned
531 * integer. In 256 bytes of serialised data, however, there are 257
532 * possible offsets so 16 bit integers must be used. The size of an
533 * offset is always a power of 2.
535 * The offsets are stored at the end of the serialised data of the
536 * array. They are simply concatenated on without any particular
537 * alignment. The size of the offsets is included in the size of the
538 * serialised data for purposes of determining the size of the offsets.
539 * This presents a possibly ambiguity; in certain cases, a particular
540 * value of array could have two different serialised forms.
542 * Imagine an array containing a single string of 253 bytes in length
543 * (so, 254 bytes including the nul terminator). Now the offset must be
544 * written. If an 8 bit offset is written, it will bring the size of
545 * the array's serialised data to 255 -- which means that the use of an
546 * 8 bit offset was valid. If a 16 bit offset is used then the total
547 * size of the array will be 256 -- which means that the use of a 16 bit
548 * offset was valid. Although both of these will be accepted by the
549 * deserialiser, only the smaller of the two is considered to be in
550 * normal form and that is the one that the serialiser must produce.

826 * fixed-sized arrays.
828 * Offsets are only stored for variable-sized items. Also, since the
829 * number of items in a tuple is known from its type, we are able to
830 * know exactly how many offsets to expect in the serialised data (and
831 * therefore how much space is taken up by the offset array). This
832 * means that we know where the end of the serialised data for the last
833 * item is -- we can just subtract the size of the offset array from the
834 * total size of the tuple. For this reason, the last item in the tuple
835 * doesn't need an offset stored.
837 * Tuple offsets are stored in reverse. This design choice allows
838 * iterator-based deserialisers to be more efficient.
840 * Most of the "heavy lifting" here is handled by the GVariantTypeInfo
841 * for the tuple. See the notes in gvarianttypeinfo.h.
