dotscope 0.6.0

//! Custom attribute blob parsing implementation for .NET metadata.
//!
//! This module provides robust parsing of custom attribute blob data according to the
//! ECMA-335 II.23.3 `CustomAttribute` signature specification. It implements the documented
//! `CorSerializationType` enumeration for accurate .NET runtime-compliant parsing with
//! comprehensive error handling and graceful degradation strategies.
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! The parsing architecture follows established patterns from other metadata parsers
//! in the codebase, providing structured and reliable custom attribute processing:
//!
//! ## Core Components
//!
//! - **Fixed Arguments**: Type-aware parsing based on constructor parameter types (CilFlavor-based)
//! - **Named Arguments**: Explicit `CorSerializationType` tag parsing from blob data
//! - **Iterative Design**: Stack-based iterative parsing with depth limiting for complex types
//! - **Enum Support**: Uses `SERIALIZATION_TYPE` constants for documented .NET types
//!
//! ## Error Handling Strategy
//!
//! - **Graceful Degradation**: Falls back to safer parsing when type resolution fails
//! - **Heuristic Enum Detection**: Uses inheritance analysis and name patterns for external types
//! - **Error Recovery**: Continues parsing despite unknown or malformed data sections
//! - **Future-Proof Design**: Ready for multi-assembly loading while working with current single-assembly model
//!
//! # Key Components
//!
//! - [`crate::metadata::customattributes::parser::CustomAttributeParser`] - Main parser implementation
//! - [`crate::metadata::customattributes::parser::parse_custom_attribute_blob`] - Blob heap parsing
//! - [`crate::metadata::customattributes::parser::parse_custom_attribute_data`] - Raw data parsing
//! - [`crate::metadata::customattributes::types::SERIALIZATION_TYPE`] - Type tag constants
//!
//! # Usage Examples
//!
//! ## Parsing from Blob Heap
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use dotscope::metadata::customattributes::parse_custom_attribute_blob;
//! use dotscope::CilObject;
//!
//! let assembly = CilObject::from_path("tests/samples/WindowsBase.dll")?;
//!
//! # fn get_custom_attribute_data() -> (u32, std::sync::Arc<boxcar::Vec<dotscope::metadata::tables::ParamRc>>) { todo!() }
//! let (blob_index, constructor_params) = get_custom_attribute_data();
//!
//! if let Some(blob_heap) = assembly.blob() {
//!     let custom_attr = parse_custom_attribute_blob(blob_heap, blob_index, &constructor_params)?;
//!
//!     println!("Fixed arguments: {}", custom_attr.fixed_args.len());
//!     println!("Named arguments: {}", custom_attr.named_args.len());
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), dotscope::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Parsing Raw Blob Data
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use dotscope::metadata::customattributes::{parse_custom_attribute_data, CustomAttributeArgument};
//!
//! # fn get_constructor_params() -> std::sync::Arc<boxcar::Vec<dotscope::metadata::tables::ParamRc>> { todo!() }
//! let constructor_params = get_constructor_params();
//!
//! // Example: Simple custom attribute with string argument
//! let blob_data = &[
//!     0x01, 0x00,                     // Prolog (0x0001)
//!     0x05,                           // String length
//!     0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F,   // "Hello" (UTF-8)
//!     0x00, 0x00,                     // Named argument count (0)
//! ];
//!
//! let result = parse_custom_attribute_data(blob_data, &constructor_params)?;
//!
//! // Access parsed arguments
//! match &result.fixed_args[0] {
//!     CustomAttributeArgument::String(s) => println!("String argument: '{}'", s),
//!     _ => println!("Unexpected argument type"),
//! }
//!
//! println!("Named arguments: {}", result.named_args.len());
//! # Ok::<(), dotscope::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! # Thread Safety
//!
//! All functions in this module are thread-safe and stateless. The parser implementation
//! can be called concurrently from multiple threads as it operates only on immutable
//! input data and produces owned output structures.
//!
//! # Integration
//!
//! This module integrates with:
//! - [`crate::metadata::customattributes::types`] - Type definitions and argument structures
//! - [`crate::metadata::streams::Blob`] - Blob heap access for custom attribute data
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables`] - Parameter resolution for constructor type information
//! - [`crate::metadata::typesystem`] - Type system integration for `CilFlavor` handling
//!
//! # Implementation Features
//!
//! ## Current Capabilities
//! - **Single Assembly Scope**: Optimized for current single-assembly analysis model
//! - **Type Resolution**: Full support for resolved constructor parameter types
//! - **Graceful Fallbacks**: Heuristic parsing when full type information unavailable
//! - **Comprehensive Validation**: ECMA-335 compliance with detailed error reporting
//! - **Iterative Processing**: Stack-based parsing supporting arbitrarily deep nesting
//!
//! ## Future Enhancements
//! - **Multi-Assembly Support**: Planned project-style loading with cross-assembly resolution
//! - **External Type Loading**: Default `windows_dll` directory for common .NET assemblies
//! - **Enhanced Inheritance**: Full inheritance chain analysis for enum detection
//!
//! # Standards Compliance
//!
//! - **ECMA-335**: Full compliance with custom attribute specification (II.23.3)
//! - **Type Safety**: Robust type checking and validation throughout parsing
//! - **Memory Safety**: Comprehensive bounds checking and nesting depth limiting
//! - **Error Handling**: Detailed error messages for debugging malformed data

///
/// # Rationale
///
/// This limit (65536 = 2^16 elements) serves two purposes:
///
/// 1. **Memory Safety**: Prevents allocation bombs where malformed metadata claims
///    astronomical array sizes (e.g., 2^31 elements × 8 bytes = 16GB allocation).
///    With this limit, the maximum allocation is ~512KB for 64-bit elements.
///
/// 2. **Practical Sufficiency**: Real-world custom attributes rarely contain large
///    arrays. Even data-heavy attributes like `[Guid]` or permission sets typically
///    use fixed-size data, not variable-length arrays of this magnitude.
///
/// # Value Choice
///
/// The value 65536 (2^16) was chosen because:
/// - It's large enough for any legitimate use case encountered in practice
/// - It keeps maximum allocation bounded to reasonable memory
/// - It matches the maximum value representable by a u16, which is often used
///   as an array length type in .NET metadata
