Add Scatter-Gather support to selected APIs (QIODevice)

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • scatter-gather

    Description

      Since Qt 6.7 added QSpan, we now have the high-level types to create a Qt-ish scatter/gather API on various I/O classes (first and foremost QIODevice).

      There are two components to this:

      • present the entirety of the internal QByteArray buffers to the OS's own scatter/gather functions (like writev(all buffers) instead of for each buffer: write(buffer), ditto reading in increments of ever-increasing buffers)
      • give QIODevice users access to (unbuffered) OS scatter/gather functions (like: write these 15 buffers in one go)

      It would help if there was a zero-copy path from user to kernel, even via QIODevice.

      QTBUG-133705 suggested to use std::byte, and we'd likely do, like in QCryptographicHash: span of QBAVs.
