Heavy inlining. Execute a Builder with custom execution parameters.

This function is inlined despite its heavy code-size to allow fusing with the allocation strategy. For example, the default Builder execution function toLazyByteString is defined as follows.

{-# NOINLINE toLazyByteString #-}
toLazyByteString =
  toLazyByteStringWith (safeStrategy smallChunkSize defaultChunkSize) L.empty

where L.empty is the zero-length lazy ByteString .

In most cases, the parameters used by toLazyByteString give good performance. A sub-performing case of toLazyByteString is executing short (<128 bytes) Builder s. In this case, the allocation overhead for the first 4kb buffer and the trimming cost dominate the cost of executing the Builder . You can avoid this problem using

toLazyByteStringWith (safeStrategy 128 smallChunkSize) L.empty

This reduces the allocation and trimming overhead, as all generated ByteString s fit into the first buffer and there is no trimming required, if more than 64 bytes and less than 128 bytes are written.

A buffer allocation strategy for executing Builder s.

Use this strategy for generating lazy ByteString s whose chunks are likely to survive one garbage collection. This strategy trims buffers that are filled less than half in order to avoid spilling too much memory.

Use this strategy for generating lazy ByteString s whose chunks are discarded right after they are generated. For example, if you just generate them to write them to a network socket.

The recommended chunk size. Currently set to 4k, less the memory management overhead

The chunk size used for I/O. Currently set to 32k, less the memory management overhead

Construct a Builder that copies the strict ByteString .

Use this function to create Builder s from smallish ( <= 4kb ) ByteString s or if you need to guarantee that the ByteString is not shared with the chunks generated by the Builder .

Construct a Builder that always inserts the strict ByteString directly as a chunk.

This implies flushing the output buffer, even if it contains just a single byte. You should therefore use byteStringInsert only for large ( > 8kb ) ByteString s. Otherwise, the generated chunks are too fragmented to be processed efficiently afterwards.

Construct a Builder that copies the strict ByteString s, if it is smaller than the treshold, and inserts it directly otherwise.

For example, byteStringThreshold 1024 copies strict ByteString s whose size is less or equal to 1kb, and inserts them directly otherwise. This implies that the average chunk-size of the generated lazy ByteString may be as low as 513 bytes, as there could always be just a single byte between the directly inserted 1025 byte, strict ByteString s.

Construct a Builder that copies the lazy ByteString .

Construct a Builder that inserts all chunks of the lazy ByteString directly.

Construct a Builder that uses the thresholding strategy of byteStringThreshold for each chunk of the lazy ByteString .

Flush the current buffer. This introduces a chunk boundary.

A BufferWriter represents the result of running a Builder . It unfolds as a sequence of chunks of data. These chunks come in two forms:

• an IO action for writing the Builder's data into a user-supplied memory buffer.
• a pre-existing chunks of data represented by a strict ByteString

While this is rather low level, it provides you with full flexibility in how the data is written out.

The BufferWriter itself is an IO action: you supply it with a buffer (as a pointer and length) and it will write data into the buffer. It returns a number indicating how many bytes were actually written (which can be 0 ). It also returns a Next which describes what comes next.

After running a BufferWriter action there are three possibilities for what comes next:

Turn a Builder into its initial BufferWriter action.
