From 9f7ec3dce239c541af3945f54afc9cdfe0e782ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Molinaro Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:56:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] THRIFT-6069: python: use a flat fastbinary encode buffer Client: py Replace the std::vector back_inserter writes in the Python 3 fastbinary encoder with a malloc/realloc-backed buffer so encoded bytes can be copied in bulk while preserving the existing growth behavior. EncodeBuffer is non-copyable (its move/copy ctors are deleted), accepts a zero initial capacity without depending on implementation-defined malloc(0) behavior, and guards capacity growth against size_t overflow on both the running total and the doubling step. Allocation failures surface as Python MemoryError. Add a fastbinary round-trip test for a large TApplicationException payload to exercise the new buffer-growth path. The Thrift spec metadata used by the test is an immutable tuple.
