[PATCH v6 1/4] interpret-trailers: factor out buffer-based processing to process_trailers()

From
Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>
Date
Nov 5, 2025, 14:29 UTC
Message-ID
<20251105142944.73061-2-me@linux.beauty>
In-Reply-To
<20251105142944.73061-1-me@linux.beauty>
From: Li Chen <chenl311@chinatelecom.cn>

Extracted trailer processing into a helper that accumulates output in a strbuf before writing.

Updated interpret_trailers() to reuse the helper, buffer output, and clean up both input and output buffers after writing.
