// An interface between writers and the entity managing the
// socket (in our case the QuicDispatcher). This allows the Dispatcher to
// control writes, and manage any writers who end up write blocked.
// A concrete writer works in one of the two modes:
// - PassThrough mode. This is the default mode. Caller calls WritePacket with
// caller-allocated packet buffer. Unless the writer is blocked, each call to
// WritePacket triggers a write using the underlying socket API.
//
// - Batch mode. In this mode, a call to WritePacket may not cause a packet to
// be sent using the underlying socket API. Instead, multiple packets are
// saved in the writer's internal buffer until they are flushed. The flush can
// be explicit, by calling Flush, or implicit, e.g. by calling
// WritePacket when the internal buffer is near full.
//
// Buffer management:
// In Batch mode, a writer manages an internal buffer, which is large enough to
// hold multiple packets' data. If the caller calls WritePacket with a
// caller-allocated packet buffer, the writer will memcpy the buffer into the
// internal buffer. Caller can also avoid this memcpy by:
// 1. Call GetNextWriteLocation to get a pointer P into the internal buffer.
// 2. Serialize the packet directly to P.
// 3. Call WritePacket with P as the |buffer|.
class QUIC_EXPORT_PRIVATE QuicPacketWriter {
public:
virtual ~QuicPacketWriter() {}
// PassThrough mode:
// Sends the packet out to the peer, with some optional per-packet options.
// If the write succeeded, the result's status is WRITE_STATUS_OK and
// bytes_written is populated. If the write failed, the result's status is
// WRITE_STATUS_BLOCKED or WRITE_STATUS_ERROR and error_code is populated.
//
// Batch mode:
// If the writer is blocked, return WRITE_STATUS_BLOCKED immediately.
// If the packet can be batched with other buffered packets, save the packet
// to the internal buffer.
// If the packet can not be batched, or the internal buffer is near full after
// it is buffered, the internal buffer is flushed to free up space.
// Return WriteResult(WRITE_STATUS_OK, <bytes_flushed>) on success. When
// <bytes_flushed> is zero, it means the packet is buffered and not flushed.
// Return WRITE_STATUS_BLOCKED if the packet is not buffered and the socket is
// blocked while flushing.
// Otherwise return an error status.
//
// Options must be either null, or created for the particular QuicPacketWriter
// implementation. Options may be ignored, depending on the implementation.
//
// Some comment about memory management if |buffer| was previously acquired
// by a call to "GetNextWriteLocation()":
//
// a) When WRITE_STATUS_OK is returned, the caller expects the writer owns the
// packet buffers and they will be released when the write finishes.
//
// b) When this function returns any status >= WRITE_STATUS_ERROR, the caller
// expects the writer releases the buffer (if needed) before the function
// returns.
//
// c) When WRITE_STATUS_BLOCKED is returned, the caller makes a copy of the
// buffer and will retry after unblock, so if |payload| is allocated from
// GetNextWriteLocation(), it
// 1) needs to be released before return, and
// 2) the content of |payload| should not change after return.
//
// d) When WRITE_STATUS_BLOCKED_DATA_BUFFERED is returned, the caller expects
// 1) the writer owns the packet buffers, and 2) the writer will re-send the
// packet when it unblocks.
