//
// This file contains the CodedInputStream and CodedOutputStream classes,
// which wrap a ZeroCopyInputStream or ZeroCopyOutputStream, respectively,
// and allow you to read or write individual pieces of data in various
// formats.  In particular, these implement the varint encoding for
// integers, a simple variable-length encoding in which smaller numbers
// take fewer bytes.
//
// Typically these classes will only be used internally by the protocol
// buffer library in order to encode and decode protocol buffers.  Clients
// of the library only need to know about this class if they wish to write
// custom message parsing or serialization procedures.
//
// CodedOutputStream example:
//   // Write some data to "myfile".  First we write a 4-byte "magic number"
//   // to identify the file type, then write a length-delimited string.  The
//   // string is composed of a varint giving the length followed by the raw
//   // bytes.
//   int fd = open("myfile", O_WRONLY);
//   ZeroCopyOutputStream* raw_output = new FileOutputStream(fd);
//   CodedOutputStream* coded_output = new CodedOutputStream(raw_output);
//
//   int magic_number = 1234;
//   char text[] = "Hello world!";
//   coded_output->WriteLittleEndian32(magic_number);
//   coded_output->WriteVarint32(strlen(text));
//   coded_output->WriteRaw(text, strlen(text));
//
//   delete coded_output;
//   delete raw_output;
//   close(fd);
//
// CodedInputStream example:
//   // Read a file created by the above code.
//   int fd = open("myfile", O_RDONLY);
//   ZeroCopyInputStream* raw_input = new FileInputStream(fd);
//   CodedInputStream coded_input = new CodedInputStream(raw_input);
//
//   coded_input->ReadLittleEndian32(&magic_number);
//   if (magic_number != 1234) {
//     cerr << "File not in expected format." << endl;
//     return;
//   }
//
//   uint32 size;
//   coded_input->ReadVarint32(&size);
//
//   char* text = new char[size + 1];
//   coded_input->ReadRaw(buffer, size);
//   text[size] = '\0';
//
//   delete coded_input;
//   delete raw_input;
//   close(fd);
//
//   cout << "Text is: " << text << endl;
//   delete [] text;
//
// For those who are interested, varint encoding is defined as follows:
//
// The encoding operates on unsigned integers of up to 64 bits in length.
// Each byte of the encoded value has the format:
// * bits 0-6: Seven bits of the number being encoded.
// * bit 7: Zero if this is the last byte in the encoding (in which
//   case all remaining bits of the number are zero) or 1 if
//   more bytes follow.
// The first byte contains the least-significant 7 bits of the number, the
// second byte (if present) contains the next-least-significant 7 bits,
// and so on.  So, the binary number 1011000101011 would be encoded in two
// bytes as "10101011 00101100".
//
// In theory, varint could be used to encode integers of any length.
// However, for practicality we set a limit at 64 bits.  The maximum encoded
// length of a number is thus 10 bytes.

  // Limits ----------------------------------------------------------
  // Limits are used when parsing length-delimited embedded messages.
  // After the message's length is read, PushLimit() is used to prevent
  // the CodedInputStream from reading beyond that length.  Once the
  // embedded message has been parsed, PopLimit() is called to undo the

  // starting from the current position.  Once the stream hits this limit,
  // it will act like the end of the input has been reached until PopLimit()
  // is called.
  //
  // As the names imply, the stream conceptually has a stack of limits.  The
  // shortest limit on the stack is always enforced, even if it is not the
  // top limit.
  //
  // The value returned by PushLimit() is opaque to the caller, and must
  // be passed unchanged to the corresponding call to PopLimit().
  Limit PushLimit(int byte_limit);

  // Pops the last limit pushed by PushLimit().  The input must be the value
  // returned by that call to PushLimit().
  void PopLimit(Limit limit);

  // Returns the number of bytes left until the nearest limit on the
  // stack is hit, or -1 if no limits are in place.
  int BytesUntilLimit();

  // Total Bytes Limit -----------------------------------------------
  // To prevent malicious users from sending excessively large messages
  // and causing integer overflows or memory exhaustion, CodedInputStream
  // imposes a hard limit on the total number of bytes it will read.

  // Sets the maximum number of bytes that this CodedInputStream will read
  // before refusing to continue.  To prevent integer overflows in the
  // protocol buffers implementation, as well as to prevent servers from
  // allocating enormous amounts of memory to hold parsed messages, the
  // maximum message length should be limited to the shortest length that
  // will not harm usability.  The theoretical shortest message that could
  // cause integer overflows is 512MB.  The default limit is 64MB.  Apps
  // should set shorter limits if possible.  If warning_threshold is not -1,
  // a warning will be printed to stderr after warning_threshold bytes are
  // read.  An error will always be printed to stderr if the limit is
  // reached.
  //
  // This is unrelated to PushLimit()/PopLimit().
  //
  // Hint:  If you are reading this because your program is printing a
  //   warning about dangerously large protocol messages, you may be
  //   confused about what to do next.  The best option is to change your
  //   design such that excessively large messages are not necessary.
  //   For example, try to design file formats to consist of many small
  //   messages rather than a single large one.  If this is infeasible,
  //   you will need to increase the limit.  Chances are, though, that
  //   your code never constructs a CodedInputStream on which the limit
  //   can be set.  You probably parse messages by calling things like
  //   Message::ParseFromString().  In this case, you will need to change
  //   your code to instead construct some sort of ZeroCopyInputStream
  //   (e.g. an ArrayInputStream), construct a CodedInputStream around
  //   that, then call Message::ParseFromCodedStream() instead.  Then
  //   you can adjust the limit.  Yes, it's more work, but you're doing
  //   something unusual.
  void SetTotalBytesLimit(int total_bytes_limit, int warning_threshold);

  // Recursion Limit -------------------------------------------------
  // To prevent corrupt or malicious messages from causing stack overflows,
  // we must keep track of the depth of recursion when parsing embedded
  // messages and groups.  CodedInputStream keeps track of this because it
  // is the only object that is passed down the stack during parsing.

  // Sets the maximum recursion depth.  The default is 64.

  // Increments the current recursion depth.  Returns true if the depth is
  // under the limit, false if it has gone over.
  bool IncrementRecursionDepth();

  // Decrements the recursion depth.
  void DecrementRecursionDepth();

  // Extension Registry ----------------------------------------------
  // ADVANCED USAGE:  99.9% of people can ignore this section.
  //
  // By default, when parsing extensions, the parser looks for extension
  // definitions in the pool which owns the outer message's Descriptor.
  // However, you may call SetExtensionRegistry() to provide an alternative
  // pool instead.  This makes it possible, for example, to parse a message
  // using a generated class, but represent some extensions using
  // DynamicMessage.

  // Set the pool used to look up extensions.  Most users do not need to call
  // this as the correct pool will be chosen automatically.
  //
  // WARNING:  It is very easy to misuse this.  Carefully read the requirements
  //   below.  Do not use this unless you are sure you need it.  Almost no one
  //   does.
  //
  // Let's say you are parsing a message into message object m, and you want
  // to take advantage of SetExtensionRegistry().  You must follow these
  // requirements:
  //
  // The given DescriptorPool must contain m->GetDescriptor().  It is not
  // sufficient for it to simply contain a descriptor that has the same name
  // and content -- it must be the *exact object*.  In other words:
  //   assert(pool->FindMessageTypeByName(m->GetDescriptor()->full_name()) ==
  //          m->GetDescriptor());
  // There are two ways to satisfy this requirement:
  // 1) Use m->GetDescriptor()->pool() as the pool.  This is generally useless
  //    because this is the pool that would be used anyway if you didn't call
  //    SetExtensionRegistry() at all.
  // 2) Use a DescriptorPool which has m->GetDescriptor()->pool() as an
  //    "underlay".  Read the documentation for DescriptorPool for more
  //    information about underlays.
  //
  // You must also provide a MessageFactory.  This factory will be used to
  // construct Message objects representing extensions.  The factory's
  // GetPrototype() MUST return non-NULL for any Descriptor which can be found
  // through the provided pool.
  //
  // If the provided factory might return instances of protocol-compiler-
  // generated (i.e. compiled-in) types, or if the outer message object m is
  // a generated type, then the given factory MUST have this property:  If
  // GetPrototype() is given a Descriptor which resides in
  // DescriptorPool::generated_pool(), the factory MUST return the same
  // prototype which MessageFactory::generated_factory() would return.  That
  // is, given a descriptor for a generated type, the factory must return an
  // instance of the generated class (NOT DynamicMessage).  However, when
  // given a descriptor for a type that is NOT in generated_pool, the factory
  // is free to return any implementation.
  //
  // The reason for this requirement is that generated sub-objects may be
  // accessed via the standard (non-reflection) extension accessor methods,
  // and these methods will down-cast the object to the generated class type.
  // If the object is not actually of that type, the results would be undefined.
  // On the other hand, if an extension is not compiled in, then there is no
  // way the code could end up accessing it via the standard accessors -- the
  // only way to access the extension is via reflection.  When using reflection,
  // DynamicMessage and generated messages are indistinguishable, so it's fine
  // if these objects are represented using DynamicMessage.
  //
  // Using DynamicMessageFactory on which you have called
  // SetDelegateToGeneratedFactory(true) should be sufficient to satisfy the
  // above requirement.
  //
  // If either pool or factory is NULL, both must be NULL.
  //
  // Note that this feature is ignored when parsing "lite" messages as they do
  // not have descriptors.
