Fix ReadMapStrIntf rejecting bin-typed map keys - #450
Merged
Conversation
ReadMapStrIntf reads map keys with a plain ReadString call, which only accepts the 'str' wire type. The rest of the library already accepts 'bin' as well - ReadMapKey and ReadMapKeyZC have supported it since 2014, and this function's own zero-copy sibling, ReadMapStrIntfBytes, already goes through ReadMapKeyZC. Swaps the ReadString call for ReadMapKey, matching what ReadMapStrIntfBytes already does. Fixes tinylib#449

Hoist the key declaration out of the loop and pass key[:0] to ReadMapKey so the previous key's storage gets reused. The buffer grows to the longest key in the map and stops allocating after that, which takes a 32-key decode from 128 to 97 allocs. Adds a test for what buffer reuse can break: a nested map, and a short key following a longer one, both read through a small reader buffer so the refill path is exercised.
