56 * Buffer to print data progressively
57 *
58 * The string buffer grows as necessary and is always 0-terminated.
59 * The content of the string is never accessed, and thus is
60 * encoding-agnostic and can even hold binary data.
61 *
62 * Small buffers are kept in the structure itself, and thus require no
63 * memory allocation at all (unless the contents of the buffer is needed
64 * after the structure goes out of scope). This is almost as lightweight as
65 * declaring a local `char buf[512]`.
66 *
67 * The length of the string can go beyond the allocated size: the buffer is
68 * then truncated, but the functions still keep account of the actual total
69 * length.
70 *
71 * In other words, AVBPrint.len can be greater than AVBPrint.size and records
72 * the total length of what would have been to the buffer if there had been
73 * enough memory.
74 *
75 * Append operations do not need to be tested for failure: if a memory
76 * allocation fails, data stop being appended to the buffer, but the length
77 * is still updated. This situation can be tested with
78 * av_bprint_is_complete().
79 *
80 * The AVBPrint.size_max field determines several possible behaviours:
81 * - `size_max = -1` (= `UINT_MAX`) or any large value will let the buffer be
82 * reallocated as necessary, with an amortized linear cost.
83 * - `size_max = 0` prevents writing anything to the buffer: only the total
84 * length is computed. The write operations can then possibly be repeated in
85 * a buffer with exactly the necessary size
86 * (using `size_init = size_max = len + 1`).
87 * - `size_max = 1` is automatically replaced by the exact size available in the
88 * structure itself, thus ensuring no dynamic memory allocation. The
89 * internal buffer is large enough to hold a reasonable paragraph of text,
90 * such as the current paragraph.
