Christopher Friedt updated THRIFT-5093:
---------------------------------------
Summary: TMemoryBuffer fix wpos for policy == OBSERVER (was:
TMemoryBuffer constructor initializes wpos incorrectly)
> TMemoryBuffer fix wpos for policy == OBSERVER
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5093
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5093
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.13.0
> Reporter: Christopher Friedt
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The TMemoryBuffer policy is "OBSERVER" by default in a constructor where an
> external pointer to memory, and the size of that memory, are passed in. That
> scenario is for externally managed buffers.
> As an observer of a buffer, Thrift should only be able to read. However,
> previously, `buf.available_read()` would return 0 (and subsequently,
> `buf.read()` would fail).
> I've added a test as a separate commit, so it's easy to observe the failure
> and fix. The current behaviour produces the following failure.
> {noformat}
> TMemoryBufferTest.cpp(141): error: in "TMemoryBufferTest/test_observer":
> check N == buf.available_read() has failed [1024 != 0]
> {noformat}
> With this change, Thrift applications that use Memory as a transport are able
> to read `OBSERVER` buffers as well (as one would expect) and the error above
> is mitigated.
