[PATCH v3 06/19] streaming: create structure for in-core object streams

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Nov 23, 2025, 18:59 UTC
Message-ID
<20251123-b4-pks-odb-read-stream-v3-6-1a129182822b@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20251123-b4-pks-odb-read-stream-v3-0-1a129182822b@pks.im>

As explained in a preceding commit, we want to get rid of the union of stream-type specific data in `struct odb_read_stream`. Create a new structure for in-core object streams to move towards this design.

Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
