Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-795:
----------------------------------
I should also point out that even though we have e.g.
proxy.config.http.default_buffer_size (defaults to 8 == 32KB), we don't
consistently use this. Some places, such as the HttpFetchSM hardcodes it to
32KB if I recall, and I think a few other places does as well.

>
> Right now, we have a set of defines, and APIs, which can take either a
> "index" to a size (used e.g. for an allocator index), or a real size. Both of
> these are currently int64_t in all APIs and member variables, and in the
> implementations, the usage are sometimes overloaded (i.e. we do "size"
> calculations on top of the indexes, making for real confusing code).
> There's also a lack of proper identification of what is an "size index" type
> (or parameter), and what is a "size". This makes for risky code.
> I think we should clean up all the implementations and APIs, as follow
> 1) Make proper names of all APIs and macros, clearly indicating if it's
> working on a size index or a size.
> 2) Keep only the size types, parameters and macros using int64_t. Do not
> overload "real" size over the size indexes.
> 3) We either make the size indexes an "int" (or even a short), or perhaps
> even better an enum (like below). All APIs, parameters, and member variables
> that refer to such size indexes would use this appropriate type.
