Membuffer should provide a way to get back the buffer

                 Key: THRIFT-1213
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1213
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Anthony Molinaro
            Assignee: Anthony Molinaro


I wanted to get the binary representation of a serialized thrift object and had 
to do something like

{{monospaced}}
thrift_something_to_binary (SomeThing) ->
  {ok, TF} = thrift_memory_buffer:new_transport_factory(),
  {ok, PF} = thrift_binary_protocol:new_protocol_factory(TF,[]),
  {ok, P0} = PF(),
  {{ protocol, thrift_binary_protocol,{ binary_protocol,{transport, 
thrift_memory_buffer, {memory_buffer,B} },true,true}},ok} 
    = thrift_protocol:write (P0,{{list, some_types:struct_info('some')}, 
SomeThing }),
  iolist_to_binary(B).
{{monospaced}}

With the attached patch instead the flush call of the transport will return the 
buffer so the large brittle pattern match above can be accomplished instead with

{{monospaced}}
thrift_something_to_binary (SomeThing) ->
  {ok, TF} = thrift_memory_buffer:new_transport_factory(),
  {ok, PF} = thrift_binary_protocol:new_protocol_factory(TF,[]),
  {ok, P0} = PF(),
  {P1, ok} = thrift_protocol:write (P0,{{list, some_types:struct_info('some')}, 
SomeThing }),
  {_P2, B} = thrift_protocol:flush_transport (P1),
  iolist_to_binary(B).
{{monospaced}}
