2022-01-24struct: implement `*` format, fix invalid memory accessesJo-Philipp Wich
Implement a new `*` format which acts like `s` on unpack but accepts input records which are shorter than the specified length, e.g. the following call will yield "abc" while an equivalent "10s" format would fail: unpack("2*", "abc") // [ "ab" ] unpack("10*", "abc") // [ "abc" ] unpack("10s", "abc") // null The `*` format is primarily useful to extract the remainder of a variable length record without having to encode the specific length of the record directly into the format string. When packing records, the `*` format takes at most as many bytes as specified in the format string repeat count. If the input string is shorter than the given repeat count, only as many bytes as present in the input string are taken. A bare `*` without any repeat count will take all bytes from the given input string: pack("2*", "abc") // "ab" pack("10*", "abc") // "abc" pack("*", "abc") // "abc" pack("10s", "abc") // "abc\0\0\0\0\0\0\0" Additionally prevent invalid memory accesses when unpacking a buffer shorter than the length expected by the format string.

2022-01-04struct: reuse double packing routines from coreJo-Philipp Wich
Use uc_pack_double() and uc_unpack_double() from core to avoid unnecessary code duplication. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-11-01treewide: fix typo in exported function names and typesJo-Philipp Wich

2021-11-01struct: fix PowerPC specific compiler pragma nameJo-Philipp Wich
The "align" pragma was accidentally renamed while refactoring the original module code. Fixes: 402f603 ("lib: introduce struct library") Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-10-31lib: introduce struct libraryJo-Philipp Wich
Introduce a new "struct" library which is a port of the Python 3.10 struct module with a reduced set of API functions. It supports the same format patterns and conversions while providing the following methods: struct = require('struct'); buf = struct.pack("fmt", args...); values = struct.unpack("fmt", buf); struct_inst = struct.new("fmt"); buf = struct_inst.pack(args...); values = struct_inst.unpack(buf); Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
