PS2, Line 209: size_t osmo_soft_uart_tx(struct osmo_soft_uart *suart,
how does this reject any buffer overflows? It is difficult to manage transmission with a
buffer, IMHO. I would suggest to let the user of this API manage the data and simply call
a function every time the transmitter wants to pull data out of the application-side
buffer. This way it's up to the application to manage the size of the buffer, any
kind of prioritization of different data, the overflow/overrun semantics, etc.
Yes, that would mean one function call-back for each byte the transmitter pulls out of
that buffer. If that really turns out to be a performance problem (probably with hundreds
of parallel uarts, if we ever need that) we might want to pull multiple bytes at the same
time. But in any case, I think we hve a fixed bit-rate consumer of data (the
transmitter) and it should pull data.
