Subject: parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature values
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.12.1~22^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9442710801b0b7b9aeefe60408d1835af138cfcc;p=git.git

parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature values

We already take care to parse key/value capabilities like
"foo=bar", but the code does not provide a good way of
actually finding out what is on the right-hand side of the
"=".

A server using "parse_feature_request" could accomplish this
with some extra parsing. You must skip past the "key"
portion manually, check for "=" versus NUL or space, and
then find the length by searching for the next space (or
NUL).  But clients can't even do that, since the
"server_supports" interface does not even return the
pointer.

Instead, let's have our parser share more information by
providing a pointer to the value and its length. The
"parse_feature_value" function returns a pointer to the
feature's value portion, along with the length of the value.
If the feature is missing, NULL is returned. If it does not
have an "=", then a zero-length value is returned.

Similarly, "server_feature_value" behaves in the same way,
but always checks the static server_feature_list variable.

We can then implement "server_supports" in terms of
"server_feature_value". We cannot implement the original
"parse_feature_request" in terms of our new function,
because it returned a pointer to the beginning of the
feature. However, no callers actually cared about the value
of the returned pointer, so we can simplify it to a boolean
just as we do for "server_supports".
