35/// Resolve any offset specification to an absolute position.
36///
37/// Convenience wrapper for callers that do not have a relative-offset anchor
38/// (e.g., tests, top-level evaluation with no prior match). Internally
39/// delegates with `last_match_end = 0`. For `OffsetSpec::Relative`, that
40/// means non-negative deltas behave like absolute offsets from the start of
41/// the buffer (`Relative(N)` for `N >= 0` resolves to absolute `N`), but
42/// negative deltas underflow the anchor and return
43/// `EvaluationError::InvalidOffset` -- they are *not* interpreted like
44/// `OffsetSpec::Absolute(-N)` from the end of the buffer. Callers that need
45/// relative offsets to anchor against actual prior matches should use
46/// `evaluate_rules` and let the engine thread the anchor.
47///
48/// **Behavior change:** before the relative-offset feature landed in v0.5,
49/// this function returned `EvaluationError::UnsupportedType` for
50/// `OffsetSpec::Relative`. It now resolves against anchor 0, which can
51/// succeed (non-negative delta) or fail with `InvalidOffset` (negative
52/// delta) depending on the value. Callers with existing error-handling code
53/// that pattern-matched `UnsupportedType` for relative offsets must remove
54/// that arm.
55///
56/// # Arguments
57///
58/// * `spec` - The offset specification to resolve
59/// * `buffer` - The file buffer to resolve against
60///
61/// # Returns
62///
63/// Returns the resolved absolute offset as a `usize`, or a `LibmagicError` if resolution fails.
64///
65/// # Examples
66///
67/// ```rust
68/// use libmagic_rs::evaluator::offset::resolve_offset;
69/// use libmagic_rs::parser::ast::OffsetSpec;
70///
71/// let buffer = b"Test data";
72/// let spec = OffsetSpec::Absolute(4);
73///
74/// let offset = resolve_offset(&spec, buffer).unwrap();
75/// assert_eq!(offset, 4);
76/// ```

78/// # Errors
79///
80/// * `LibmagicError::EvaluationError` - If offset resolution fails
81pub fn resolve_offset(spec: &OffsetSpec, buffer: &[u8]) -> Result<usize, LibmagicError> {
82 resolve_offset_with_context(spec, buffer, 0)
83}
84
85/// Resolve any offset specification, including relative offsets, against a
86/// previous-match anchor.
87///
88/// This is the full dispatcher used by the evaluation engine. It handles all
89/// `OffsetSpec` variants:
90///
91/// - [`OffsetSpec::Absolute`] / [`OffsetSpec::FromEnd`]: resolved against the
92/// buffer (sign-aware), `last_match_end` ignored.
93/// - [`OffsetSpec::Indirect`]: resolved by reading a pointer value from the
94/// buffer, `last_match_end` ignored.
95/// - [`OffsetSpec::Relative`]: resolved as `last_match_end + delta`,
96/// bounds-checked. The anchor `0` makes top-level relative offsets resolve
97/// from the file start.
98///
99/// `pub(crate)` because the anchor-threading contract is internal to the
100/// evaluation engine -- external callers use [`resolve_offset`] (which
101/// hardcodes anchor 0) or go through `evaluate_rules`.
102///
103/// # Arguments
104///
105/// * `spec` - The offset specification to resolve
106/// * `buffer` - The file buffer to resolve against
107/// * `last_match_end` - End offset of the most recent successful match.
108/// Supplied by the engine via `EvaluationContext::last_match_end()`. Pass
109/// `0` if no prior match exists.
110///
111/// # Errors
112///
113/// * `LibmagicError::EvaluationError` - If offset resolution fails for any
114/// variant. Relative-offset failures surface as `BufferOverrun` (target
115/// past end of buffer) or `InvalidOffset` (arithmetic over/underflow).

127/// Inside a `MetaType::Use` subroutine body, `OffsetSpec::Absolute(n)`
128/// with `n >= 0` resolves to `base_offset + n`, matching magic(5)
129/// semantics where the subroutine's offsets are relative to the
130/// caller's invocation point. Negative `Absolute`, `FromEnd`,
131/// `Relative`, and `Indirect` are unaffected -- they already have
