Revision to take on board suggestions made on list - many thanks. Changes in
particular
* updated coding style following Arnaldo's suggestion
* introduced a new constant, DCCP_OPTVAL_MAXLEN, as suggested by Ian (for
other patch)
* explained via documentation what this constant does and what depends on this
constant
-------------------------> Patch v2
<-----------------------------------------------------
[DCCP]: Auxiliary function for smallest-fit option lengths
This introduces a function to determine the smallest-fit data type to carry
options,
which is used by the feature-negotiation code to insert option values.
While doing this, I found that the same code is required to set the NDP length,
whose length is variable between 1..6 bytes (RFC 4340, 7.7).
There seem to be remains of the old code base when apparently NDP count was
only 3
bytes long. I have removed the annotations, as well as an unused constant
limiting
the maximum NDP value to 3 bytes, and added a FIXME to increase the data type
for
NDP up to u64. I didn't want to add this to this patch also, since various other
parts (e.g. CCID3) implicitly rely on u32. For the moment, u32 seems to more
than
ample anyway, so the FIXME could even remain until there is a `high-speed' CCID.
