Contrary to 64-bits libCs where size_t type size is 8, on systems with 32-bits
size of size_t is 4 (the size of a long) which does not equal to size of uint64_t type.
This was revealed by such GCC warnings on 32bits systems:
src/flt_spoe.c:2259:40: warning: passing argument 4 of spoe_decode_buffer from
incompatible pointer type
if (spoe_decode_buffer(&p, end, &str, &sz) == -1)
^
As the already existing code using spoe_decode_buffer() already use such pointers to
uint64_t, in place of pointer to size_t ;), most of this code is in contrib directory,
this simple patch modifies the prototype of spoe_decode_buffer() so that to use a
pointer to uint64_t in place of a pointer to size_t, uint64_t type being the type
finally required for decode_varint().
These encoding functions does general stuff and can be used in
other context than spoe. This patch moves the function spoe_encode_varint
and spoe_decode_varint from spoe to common. It also remove the prefix spoe.
These functions will be used for encoding values in new binary sample fetch.
When we include the header proto/spoe.h in other files in the same
project, the compilator claim that the symbol have multiple definitions:
src/flt_spoe.o: In function `spoe_encode_varint':
~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: multiple definition of `spoe_encode_varint'
src/proto_http.o:~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: first defined here
