sto_subarray

Index into a xahaud serialized array and return the location and length of an index

Concepts

• Serialized Objects

Behaviour

• Parse a STArray pointed to by read_ptr

• Find the array index specified by array_id

• Return the byte offset and length of the serialized field within the STObject, if it is found

🚧Field ID encoding

The sto_ apis accept a field_id parameter encoded as follows: (type << 16U) + field Thus type 1 field 2 would be 0x10002U.

In the case of this array field ID is array_id.

Definition

C

int64_t sto_subfield (
    uint32_t read_ptr,
  	uint32_t read_len,
  	uint32_t array_id
);

Example

C

#define SUB_OFFSET(x) ((int32_t)(x >> 32))
#define SUB_LENGTH(x) ((int32_t)(x & 0xFFFFFFFFULL))

  int64_t memo_lookup =
    sto_subarray(memos, memos_len, 0);

if (memo_lookup < 0)
{
    // sfMemo was not found in the STObject pointed at by memo_ptr
}
else
{
    // 0th index of the STArray was found and its location is as follows:
    uint8_t*  memo_ptr = SUB_OFFSET(memo_lookup) + memos;
    uint32_t  memo_len = SUB_LENGTH(memo_lookup);
}

📘

hookmacro.h already contains the SUB_OFFSET and SUB_LENGTH macros.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
read_ptr	uint32_t	Pointer to the buffer containing the STArray
read_len	uint32_t	Length of STArray
array_id	uint32_t	The index of the entry within the STArray you are seeking. Starts from 0.

Return Code

Type

Description

int64_t

The location of the field within the specified buffer: - The high 32 bits are the offset location. - The low 32 bits are the length. If negative, an error: OUT_OF_BOUNDS - pointers/lengths specified outside of hook memory. TOO_SMALL - Input buffer isn't large enough to possibly contain a valid STArray. DOESNT_EXIST - The searched for index isn't present in the supplied STArray. PARSE_ERROR - The supplied STArray is malformed or not an STArray.
