package codec

// Contains code shared by both encode and decode.

// Some shared ideas around encoding/decoding
// ------------------------------------------
//
// If an interface{} is passed, we first do a type assertion to see if it is
// a primitive type or a map/slice of primitive types, and use a fastpath to handle it.
//
// If we start with a reflect.Value, we are already in reflect.Value land and
// will try to grab the function for the underlying Type and directly call that function.
// This is more performant than calling reflect.Value.Interface().
//
// This still helps us bypass many layers of reflection, and give best performance.
//
// Containers
// ------------
// Containers in the stream are either associative arrays (key-value pairs) or
// regular arrays (indexed by incrementing integers).
//
// Some streams support indefinite-length containers, and use a breaking
// byte-sequence to denote that the container has come to an end.
//
// Some streams also are text-based, and use explicit separators to denote the
// end/beginning of different values.
//
// Philosophy
// ------------
// On decode, this codec will update containers appropriately:
//    - If struct, update fields from stream into fields of struct.
//      If field in stream not found in struct, handle appropriately (based on option).
//      If a struct field has no corresponding value in the stream, leave it AS IS.
//      If nil in stream, set value to nil/zero value.
//    - If map, update map from stream.
//      If the stream value is NIL, set the map to nil.
//    - if slice, try to update up to length of array in stream.
//      if container len is less than stream array length,
//      and container cannot be expanded, handled (based on option).
//      This means you can decode 4-element stream array into 1-element array.
//
// ------------------------------------
// On encode, user can specify omitEmpty. This means that the value will be omitted
// if the zero value. The problem may occur during decode, where omitted values do not affect
// the value being decoded into. This means that if decoding into a struct with an
// int field with current value=5, and the field is omitted in the stream, then after
// decoding, the value will still be 5 (not 0).
// omitEmpty only works if you guarantee that you always decode into zero-values.
//
// ------------------------------------
// We could have truncated a map to remove keys not available in the stream,
// or set values in the struct which are not in the stream to their zero values.
// We decided against it because there is no efficient way to do it.
// We may introduce it as an option later.
// However, that will require enabling it for both runtime and code generation modes.
//
// To support truncate, we need to do 2 passes over the container:
//   map
//   - first collect all keys (e.g. in k1)
//   - for each key in stream, mark k1 that the key should not be removed
//   - after updating map, do second pass and call delete for all keys in k1 which are not marked
//   struct:
//   - for each field, track the *typeInfo s1
//   - iterate through all s1, and for each one not marked, set value to zero
//   - this involves checking the possible anonymous fields which are nil ptrs.
//     too much work.
//
// ------------------------------------------
// Error Handling is done within the library using panic.
//
// This way, the code doesn't have to keep checking if an error has happened,
// and we don't have to keep sending the error value along with each call
// or storing it in the En|Decoder and checking it constantly along the way.
//
// We considered storing the error is En|Decoder.
//   - once it has its err field set, it cannot be used again.
//   - panicing will be optional, controlled by const flag.
//   - code should always check error first and return early.
//
// We eventually decided against it as it makes the code clumsier to always
// check for these error conditions.
//
// ------------------------------------------
// We use sync.Pool only for the aid of long-lived objects shared across multiple goroutines.
// Encoder, Decoder, enc|decDriver, reader|writer, etc do not fall into this bucket.
//
// Also, GC is much better now, eliminating some of the reasons to use a shared pool structure.
// Instead, the short-lived objects use free-lists that live as long as the object exists.
//
// ------------------------------------------
// Be careful about pointer-chasing, as it has a clear impact on performance.
// To alleviate this:
//    - Prefer non-pointer values in a struct field
//    - Refer to these directly within helper classes
//      e.g. json.go refers directly to d.d.decRd
//
