namespace protozero {

// This class buffers and tokenizes proto messages.
//
// From a logical level, it works with a sequence of protos like this.
// [ header 1 ] [ payload 1   ]
// [ header 2 ] [ payload 2  ]
// [ header 3 ] [ payload 3     ]
// Where [ header ] is a variable-length sequence of:
// [ Field ID = 1, type = length-delimited] [ length (varint) ].
//
// The input to this class is byte-oriented, not message-oriented (like a TCP
// stream or a pipe). The caller is not required to respect the boundaries of
// each message; only guarantee that data is not lost or duplicated. The
// following sequence of inbound events is possible:
// 1. [ hdr 1 (incomplete) ... ]
// 2. [ ... hdr 1 ] [ payload 1 ] [ hdr 2 ] [ payoad 2 ] [ hdr 3 ] [ pay... ]
// 3. [ ...load 3 ]
//
// This class maintains inbound requests in a ring buffer.
// The expected usage is:
// ring_buf.Append(data, len);
// for (;;) {
//   auto msg = ring_buf.ReadMessage();
//   if (!msg.valid())
//     break;
//   Decode(msg);
// }
//
// After each call to Append, the caller is expected to call ReadMessage() until
// it returns an invalid message (signalling no more messages could be decoded).
// Note that a single Append can "unblock" > 1 messages, which is why the caller
// needs to keep calling ReadMessage in a loop.
//
// Internal architecture
// ---------------------
// Internally this is similar to a ring-buffer, with the caveat that it never
// wraps, it only expands. Expansions are rare. The deal is that in most cases
// the read cursor follows very closely the write cursor. For instance, if the
// underlying transport behaves as a dgram socket, after each Append, the read
// cursor will chase completely the write cursor. Even if the underlying stream
// is not always atomic, the expectation is that the read cursor will eventually
// reach the write one within few messages.
// A visual example, imagine we have four messages: 2it 4will 2be 4fine
// Visually:
//
// Append("2it4wi"): A message and a bit:
// [ 2it 4wi                     ]
// ^R       ^W
//
// After the ReadMessage(), the 1st message will be read, but not the 2nd.
// [ 2it 4wi                     ]
//      ^R ^W
//
// Append("ll2be4f")
// [ 2it 4will 2be 4f            ]
//      ^R           ^W
//
// After the ReadMessage() loop:
// [ 2it 4will 2be 4f            ]
//                ^R ^W
// Append("ine")
// [ 2it 4will 2be 4fine         ]
//                ^R    ^W
//
// In the next ReadMessage() the R cursor will chase the W cursor. When this
// happens (very frequent) we can just reset both cursors to 0 and restart.
// If we are unlucky and get to the end of the buffer, two things happen:
// 1. We try first to recompact the buffer, moving everything left by R.
// 2. If still there isn't enough space, we expand the buffer.
// Given that each message is expected to be at most kMaxMsgSize (64 MB), the
// expansion is bound at 2 * kMaxMsgSize.
