- Fixed shadowed variable warnings in lfs_dir_find.
- Fixed unused parameter warnings when LFS_NO_MALLOC is enabled.
- Added extra warning flags to CFLAGS.
- Updated tests so they don't shadow the "size" variable for -Wshadow
This bug was a result of an annoying corner case around intermingling
signed and unsigned offsets. The boundary check that prevents seeking
a file to a position before the file was preventing valid seeks with
positive offsets.
This corner case is a bit more complicated than it looks because the
offset is signed, while the size of the file is unsigned. Simply
casting both to signed or unsigned offsets won't handle large files.
lfs_file_seek returned the _previous_ file offset on success, where
most standards return the _calculated_ offset on success.
This just falls into me not noticing a mistake, and shows why it's
always helpful to have a second set of eyes on code.
- out-of-bound read results in eof
- out-of-bound write will fill missing area with zeros
The write behaviour matches expected posix behaviour, but was
under consideration for not being dropped, since littlefs does
not support holes, and support of out-of-band seeks adds complexity.
However, it turned out filling with zeros was trivial, and only
cost an extra 74 bytes of flash (0.48%).
This off-by-one error was caused by a slight difference between the
pos argument to lfs_index_find and lfs_index_extend. When pos is on
a block boundary, lfs_index_extend expects block to point before pos,
as it would when writing a file linearly. But when seeking to that
pos, the lfs_index_find to warm things up just supplies the block it
expects pos to be in.
Fixed the off-by-one error and added a test case for several of these
cold seek+writes.
Originally had two seperate positions for reading/writing,
but this is inconsistent with the the posix standard, which
has a single position for reading and writing.
Also added proper handling of when the file is dirty, just
added an internal flag for this state.
Also moved the entry out of the file struct, and rearranged
some members to clean things up.
A rather involved upgrade for both files and directories, seek and
related functions are now completely supported:
- lfs_file_seek
- lfs_file_tell
- lfs_file_rewind
- lfs_file_size
- lfs_dir_seek
- lfs_dir_tell
- lfs_dir_rewind
This change also highlighted the concern that lfs_off_t is unsigned,
whereas off_t is traditionally signed. Unfortunately, lfs_off_t is
already used intensively through the codebase, so in focusing on
moving forward and avoiding getting bogged down by details, I'm going to
keep it as is and use the signed type lfs_soff_t where necessary.
