The old buffer surface (encodedsize/decodedsize + encode(dst,src) i32 +
decode(dst,src) (i32|invalid)) does not exist in Hare — it predates the
#94 io vtable and mis-cited hex.ha:175 while implementing a different
signature. Replace it with Hare's real surface
(ref/hare/encoding/hex/hex.ha):
- newencoder(out: io.handle) (:28) — write-only encoder stream.
- encode(out: io.handle, in) (size | io.error) (:91).
- encodestr(in) str (:68).
- decodestr(s) ([]u8 | errors.invalid) (:175).
Divergences (documented at-site):
- The streaming DECODER (newdecoder/decode_reader, :120,:129) is
DEFERRED to #247, blocked on #199b: Hare's decode_reader returns
errors::invalid, which fits Hare's io::error (spreads
...errors::error). ww's io.error (lib/io/types.ww:55-62) does not
carry errors.invalid, and io.read's (size|eof|error) can't propagate
it, so a hex decoder *stream* can't faithfully report invalid hex
through io.read yet. decodestr ships as a direct transform meanwhile.
- nomem dropped from encodestr/decodestr returns (ww memio.dynamic has
no failure path — same memio.string rule-9 carve-out, memio.ww:208).
- The local hex.invalid type is deleted in favor of errors.invalid
(that was the original divergence).
- encode uses a single io.write rather than Hare's io::writeall (ww has
none — fmt.fprint:498-501: callers drive write-all over raw io.write;
encode_writer is whole-slice so a single write is equivalent).
- dump (:212) deferred: ww has no default-arg support and fmt's
formattable lacks u64 (#209), so the address column can't be ported
faithfully yet.
hex is now import-bearing, so it moves off the 900_stdlib standalone-
compile list (like fmt/os/strings/bufio/bytes/errors before it); coverage
stays at 979_hex_run.c. The stale "mirrors lib/encoding/hex.encode"
comments in lib/encoding/utf8/utf8.ww are updated, which regenerates the
6 selfhost combined.ww (5 cmd + test/smoke) (comment-only, byte-id-neutral).
