Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] lib: add ascii hex helper functions
[Harvey Harrison - Sat, May 03, 2008 at 12:27:27PM -0700]
| Everyone rolls their own version around the tree, centralize
| in lib/hexdump.c. Move the only existing users of hex_asc over
| to the hi/lo helpers.
|
| Add helpers for reading binary values from a stream of hex chars.
| Most existing users want to know how many chars were read as well.
| This implementation chooses to return the number of chars read
| and takes a pointer to the value being read.
|
| As an alternative, a char **buf could be passed and the value could
| be returned and the pointer updated by reference.
|
| Fixed size helpers for u8, u16, u32 and u64 have been added with
| another helper that takes an argument specifying the max number of
| chars to read (capped to the size that will fit in an unsigned long)
|
| Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@...il.com>
| ---
| Andrew, I've thought a little more about this, It's possible we could
| get away without the u8/u16 helpers, but it does make the api nicely
| complete, and they are pretty small. Most users really want to read
| a long or an int, but many can be move to the u32/u64 versions to
| tighten up implicit assumptions being made about the length being
| read.
|
| I'll wait for coment before fixing the previous series of patches to
| use these.
