revlog: improve the robustness of the splitting process The previous "in-place" splitting, preserving the splitting on transaction failure had a couple of issue in case of transaction rollback: - a race windows that could still lead to a crash and data loss - it corrupted the `fncache`. So instead, we use a new approach that we summarized as "we do a backup of the inline revlog pre-split, and we restore this in case of failure". To make readers live easier, we don't overwrite the inline index file until transaction finalization. (once the transaction get into its finalization phase, it is not expected to rollback, unless some crash happens). To do so, we write the index of the split index in a temporary file that we use until transaction finalization. We also keep a backup of the initial inline file to be able to rollback the split if needed. As a result, transaction rollback cancel the split and no longer corrupt fncache. We also no longer have a small inconsistency windows where the transaction could be unrecoverable.

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
