cfriedt opened a new pull request #2007:
URL: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/2007


   <!-- Explain the changes in the pull request below: -->
   
   The TMemoryBuffer policy is "OBSERVER" by default in a constructor where an 
external pointer to memory, and the size of that memory, are passed in. That 
scenario is for externally managed buffers.
   
   As an observer of a buffer, Thrift should only be able to read. However, 
previously, `buf.available_read()` would return 0 (and subsequently, 
`buf.read()` would fail). 
   
   I've added a test as a separate commit, so it's easy to observe the failure 
and fix. The current behaviour produces the following failure.
   ```
   TMemoryBufferTest.cpp(141): error: in "TMemoryBufferTest/test_observer": 
check N == buf.available_read() has failed [1024 != 0]
   ``` 
   With this change, Thrift applications that use Memory as a transport are 
able to read `OBSERVER` buffers as well (as one would expect) and the error 
above is mitigated.
   
   <!-- We recommend you review the checklist/tips before submitting a pull 
request. -->
   
   - [x] Did you create an [Apache 
Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/THRIFT/issues/) ticket?  (not 
required for trivial changes)
   - [x] If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern 
"THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
   - [x] Did you squash your changes to a single commit?  (not required, but 
preferred)
   - [x] Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes?  If one was needed, 
did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
   - [ ] If your change does not involve any code, add ` [skip ci]` at the end 
of your pull request to free up build resources.
