38 * After this prologue section, this file has roughly 2 parts.
40 * The first part is split up into sections according to various
41 * container types. Maybe, Array, Tuple, Variant. The Maybe and Array
42 * sections are subdivided for element types being fixed or
43 * variable-sized types.
45 * Each section documents the format of that particular type of
46 * container and implements 5 functions for dealing with it:
49 * - determines (according to serialised data) how many child values
50 * are inside a particular container value.
53 * - gets the type of and the serialised data corresponding to a
54 * given child value within the container value.
57 * - determines how much space would be required to serialise a
58 * container of this type, containing the given children so that
59 * buffers can be preallocated before serialising.
62 * - write the serialised data for a container of this type,
63 * containing the given children, to a buffer.
66 * - check the given data to ensure that it is in normal form. For a
67 * given set of child values, there is exactly one normal form for
68 * the serialised data of a container. Other forms are possible
69 * while maintaining the same children (for example, by inserting
70 * something other than zero bytes as padding) but only one form is
73 * The second part contains the main entry point for each of the above 5
74 * functions and logic to dispatch it to the handler for the appropriate
75 * container type code.
77 * The second part also contains a routine to byteswap serialised
78 * values. This code makes use of the n_children() and get_child()
79 * functions above to do its work so no extra support is needed on a
80 * per-container-type basis.
82 * There is also additional code for checking for normal form. All
83 * numeric types are always in normal form since the full range of
84 * values is permitted (eg: 0 to 255 is a valid byte). Special checks
85 * need to be performed for booleans (only 0 or 1 allowed), strings
86 * (properly nul-terminated) and object paths and signature strings
87 * (meeting the DBus specification requirements).
92 * @type_info: the #GVariantTypeInfo of this value
93 * @data: the serialised data of this value, or %NULL
94 * @size: the size of this value
96 * A structure representing a GVariant in serialised form. This
97 * structure is used with #GVariantSerialisedFiller functions and as the
98 * primary interface to the serialiser. See #GVariantSerialisedFiller
99 * for a description of its use there.
101 * When used with the serialiser API functions, the following invariants
102 * apply to all #GVariantTypeSerialised structures passed to and
103 * returned from the serialiser.
105 * @type_info must be non-%NULL.
107 * @data must be properly aligned for the type described by @type_info.
109 * If @type_info describes a fixed-sized type then @size must always be
110 * equal to the fixed size of that type.
112 * For fixed-sized types (and only fixed-sized types), @data may be
113 * %NULL even if @size is non-zero. This happens when a framing error
114 * occurs while attempting to extract a fixed-sized value out of a
115 * variable-sized container. There is no data to return for the
116 * fixed-sized type, yet @size must be non-zero. The effect of this
117 * combination should be as if @data were a pointer to an
118 * appropriately-sized zero-filled region.
122 * g_variant_serialised_check:
123 * @serialised: a #GVariantSerialised struct
125 * Checks @serialised for validity according to the invariants described
129 g_variant_serialised_check (GVariantSerialised serialised)
134 g_assert (serialised.type_info != NULL);
135 g_variant_type_info_query (serialised.type_info, &alignment, &fixed_size);
138 g_assert_cmpint (serialised.size, ==, fixed_size);
140 g_assert (serialised.size == 0 || serialised.data != NULL);
142 g_assert_cmpint (alignment & (gsize) serialised.data, ==, 0);
146 * GVariantSerialisedFiller:
147 * @serialised: a #GVariantSerialised instance to fill
148 * @data: data from the children array
150 * This function is called back from g_variant_serialiser_needed_size()
151 * and g_variant_serialiser_serialise(). It fills in missing details
152 * from a partially-complete #GVariantSerialised.
154 * The @data parameter passed back to the function is one of the items
155 * that was passed to the serialiser in the @children array. It
156 * represents a single child item of the container that is being
157 * serialised. The information filled in to @serialised is the
158 * information for this child.
160 * If the @type_info field of @serialised is %NULL then the callback
161 * function must set it to the type information corresponding to the
162 * type of the child. No reference should be added. If it is non-%NULL
163 * then the callback should assert that it is equal to the actual type
166 * If the @size field is zero then the callback must fill it in with the
167 * required amount of space to store the serialised form of the child.
168 * If it is non-zero then the callback should assert that it is equal to
169 * the needed size of the child.
171 * If @data is non-%NULL then it points to a space that is properly
172 * aligned for and large enough to store the serialised data of the
173 * child. The callback must store the serialised form of the child at
176 * If the child value is another container then the callback will likely
177 * recurse back into the serialiser by calling
178 * g_variant_serialiser_needed_size() to determine @size and
179 * g_variant_serialiser_serialise() to write to @data.
182 /* PART 1: Container types {{{1
184 * This section contains the serialiser implementation functions for
185 * each container type.
190 * Maybe types are handled depending on if the element type of the maybe
191 * type is a fixed-sized or variable-sized type. Although all maybe
192 * types themselves are variable-sized types, herein, a maybe value with
193 * a fixed-sized element type is called a "fixed-sized maybe" for
194 * convenience and a maybe value with a variable-sized element type is
195 * called a "variable-sized maybe".
198 /* Fixed-sized Maybe {{{3
200 * The size of a maybe value with a fixed-sized element type is either 0
201 * or equal to the fixed size of its element type. The case where the
202 * size of the maybe value is zero corresponds to the "Nothing" case and
203 * the case where the size of the maybe value is equal to the fixed size
204 * of the element type corresponds to the "Just" case; in that case, the
205 * serialised data of the child value forms the entire serialised data
206 * of the maybe value.
208 * In the event that a fixed-sized maybe value is presented with a size
209 * that is not equal to the fixed size of the element type then the
210 * value must be taken to be "Nothing".

482 /* Variable-sized Array {{{3
484 * Variable sized arrays, containing variable-sized elements, must be
485 * able to determine the boundaries between the elements. The items
486 * cannot simply be concatenated. Additionally, we are faced with the
487 * fact that non-fixed-sized values do not neccessarily have a size that
488 * is a multiple of their alignment requirement, so we may need to
489 * insert zero-filled padding.
491 * While it is possible to find the start of an item by starting from
492 * the end of the item before it and padding for alignment, it is not
493 * generally possible to do the reverse operation. For this reason, we
494 * record the end point of each element in the array.
496 * GVariant works in terms of "offsets". An offset is a pointer to a
497 * boundary between two bytes. In 4 bytes of serialised data, there
498 * would be 5 possible offsets: one at the start ('0'), one between each
499 * pair of adjacent bytes ('1', '2', '3') and one at the end ('4').
501 * The numeric value of an offset is an unsigned integer given relative
502 * to the start of the serialised data of the array. Offsets are always
503 * stored in little endian byte order and are always only as big as they
504 * need to be. For example, in 255 bytes of serialised data, there are
505 * 256 offsets. All possibilities can be stored in an 8 bit unsigned
506 * integer. In 256 bytes of serialised data, however, there are 257
507 * possible offsets so 16 bit integers must be used. The size of an
508 * offset is always a power of 2.
510 * The offsets are stored at the end of the serialised data of the
511 * array. They are simply concatenated on without any particular
512 * alignment. The size of the offsets is included in the size of the
513 * serialised data for purposes of determining the size of the offsets.
514 * This presents a possibly ambiguity; in certain cases, a particular
515 * value of array could have two different serialised forms.
517 * Imagine an array containing a single string of 253 bytes in length
518 * (so, 254 bytes including the nul terminator). Now the offset must be
519 * written. If an 8 bit offset is written, it will bring the size of
520 * the array's serialised data to 255 -- which means that the use of an
521 * 8 bit offset was valid. If a 16 bit offset is used then the total
522 * size of the array will be 256 -- which means that the use of a 16 bit
523 * offset was valid. Although both of these will be accepted by the
524 * deserialiser, only the smaller of the two is considered to be in
525 * normal form and that is the one that the serialiser must produce.
