This patch adds initial support for decoding/encoding to/from the new
maps data type.
I'd like to thank Jihyun Yu (yjh0502) for the initial versions of this
work.
This adds a configurable limit on the number of bytes consumed by
the decoder before yielding back to the Erlang VM. This is to avoid the
infamous scheduler collapse issues.
The `jiffy:decode/2` now takes an option `{bytes_per_iter,
pos_integer()}` that controls the yield frequency. The default value is
2048.
This is ground work to allow Jiffy to yield back to the scheduler.
Creating a decoder resource will allow for the necessary state to be
carried across NIF function invocations.
A single quote input was causing segfaults due to sneaking past the
string termination logic. This patch corrects that lapse in conditional
by only parsing strings where a closing quote was found. All other
strings are rejected as invalid.
Big thanks to Jean-Charles Campagne (@jccampagne) for reporting the
issue.
The encoder can now return \u escaped unicode data instead of leaving
it as UTF-8 byte sequences. This done like so:
Eshell V5.8.3 (abort with ^G)
1> jiffy:encode(<<240, 144, 129, 128>>, [uescape]).
<<"\"\\uD800\\uDC40\"">>
The encode and decode functions now return the value directly without
being wrapped in a tuple on success. If there is an error, it is
thrown. This is to more closely match the semantics of term_to_binary
and binary_to_term.
Any number that can't be decoded in C is now passed back
to Erlang for decoding.
Large numbers passed to the encoder will make it through
and be processed in Erlang after the main encoding
process.
* Refs became atoms to make sure they can live across calls
to the NIF functions.
* Initialized curr in decode so that I'm no longer pushing
random values into the Erlang VM.
