XBLOCK and XXBLOCK handling #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
XBLOCKS are currently detected by the first two bytes of data both being 1.

They should be detected by first testing the 0x02 bit of the block id and only 
if it is set, checking the first two bytes of data.

This would only be a problem if a data block that wasn't an XBLOCK (array) 
started with two 1s.

XXBLOCKS aren't handled at all.  Since XXBLOCKS describe very large amounts of 
data, I propose that the api should provide some kind of stream to access them 
rather than trying to read extremely large amounts of data into memory as is 
done in the case of XBLOCKs (arrays) and likely running out of memory!

Cool, this has been done as per mailing list update.
