I am rewriting my entire SVG parsing to be able to peephole parse the entire thing using a 64 byte capture buffer. (Or more, but 64 bytes is the minimum)
This creates an interesting problem when it comes to really long attributes like the "d" attribute on the "path" element in SVG.
<path d="M-8.2 249.201C-8.2 249.201 -9 247.201 -13.4 246.801C-13.4 246.801 -35.8 243.201 -44.2 230.801C-44.2 230.801 -51 225.201 -46.6 236.801C-46.6 236.801 -36.2 257.201 -29.4 260.001C-29.4 260.001 -13 264.001 -8.2 249.201z"/>
The trick is the peephole parser returns about 64 bytes of that "d" attribute's value at a time. To read the entire "d" attribute will typically require multiple calls to read()
Well, I did it. With judicious use of state machines I can parse a float, skip whitespace, and parse path commands even they land partly across the 64 byte capture boundary.
Previously in my old code, I would gather all of the capture into one big string buffer and parse that.
This new approach wasn't easy code, but the result is very memory efficient, and robust in that it can handle content of any length with a constant (and very small) amount of memory.
Bless state machines. I have 7 states in my float parser alone.
I feel like I had my Wheaties this morning. Hooah!

I was hit by a boomerang, a few years ago.

I couldn't quite remember how to throw a boomerang correctly.
But eventually, it came back to me.

Where was the bag and how did the thief get in? Or was this just another Labour stunt?

Crime minister sounds like she makes sure there's enough crime and that crime is carried out correctly.
Criminals have a place in society too and the criminal interests group is lobbying for more pay and recognition for criminals.
We have a minister of security and justice who prevents all that.
