Provide string escaping that
- returns the required buffer size, so it can be used with OSMO_STRBUF_APPEND().
- uses C compatible string constant escaping sequences.
This is intended as a replacement for all previous osmo_escape_str* and
osmo_quote_str* API. It pains me that I didn't get them right the first nor the
second time:
- The buffer functions do not return the chars needed, which is required for
allocating sufficient memory in the *_c versions of the functions.
- Because of that, these functions are accurately usable for
OSMO_STRBUF_APPEND(), producing truncated strings, for example when dumping a
GSUP message.
- They do not use the C equivalent string constant escaping: for some reason I
thought "\15" would be valid, but it should be "\x0f".
If I could, I would completely drop those mislead implementations ... but
backwards compat prohibits that.
A previous patch already provided internal static functions that accurately
return the required buffer size. Enhance these to also support C compatible
string escaping, and use them as implementation of the new functions:
osmo_escape_cstr_buf()
osmo_escape_cstr_c()
osmo_quote_cstr_buf()
osmo_quote_cstr_c()
In the tests for these, also test C string equivalence.
Naming: from API versions, it would be kind of logical to call them
osmo_escape_str_buf3() and osmo_escape_str_c2(). Since these anyway return a
different escaping, it makes sense to me to have distinct names instead.
Quasi missing are variants of the non-C-compatible weird legacy escaping that
return the required buffer size, but I refrain from adding those, because we
have enough API cruft as it is. Just always use these new cstr variants.
