# read-byte-buffered: one higher-level abstraction atop 'read'.
#
# There are many situations where 'read' is a lot to manage, and we need
# to abstract some details away. One of them is when we want to read a file
# character by character. In this situation we follow C's FILE data structure,
# which manages the underlying file descriptor together with the buffer it
# reads into. We call our version 'buffered-file'. Should be useful with other
# primitives as well, in later layers.

== data

# The buffered file for standard input. Also illustrates the layout for
# buffered-file: a pointer to the backing store, followed by a 'buffer' stream
Stdin:  # buffered-file
    # file descriptor or (addr stream byte)
    0/imm32  # standard input
$Stdin->buffer:
    # inlined fields for a stream
    #   current write index
    0/imm32
    #   current read index
    0/imm32
    #   size
    8/imm32
    #   data
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  # 8 bytes

# TODO: 8 bytes is too small. We'll need to grow the buffer for efficiency. But
# I don't want to type in 1024 bytes here.
