pycore_blocks_output_buffer.h

/*
   _BlocksOutputBuffer is used to maintain an output buffer
   that has unpredictable size. Suitable for compression/decompression
   API (bz2/lzma/zlib) that has stream->next_out and stream->avail_out:

        stream->next_out:  point to the next output position.
        stream->avail_out: the number of available bytes left in the buffer.

   It maintains a list of bytes object, so there is no overhead of resizing
   the buffer.

   Usage:

   1, Initialize the struct instance like this:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer buffer = {.list = NULL};
      Set .list to NULL for _BlocksOutputBuffer_OnError()

   2, Initialize the buffer use one of these functions:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_InitAndGrow()
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_InitWithSize()

   3, If (avail_out == 0), grow the buffer:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_Grow()

   4, Get the current outputted data size:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_GetDataSize()

   5, Finish the buffer, and return a bytes object:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_Finish()

   6, Clean up the buffer when an error occurred:
        _BlocksOutputBuffer_OnError()
