Subject: [PATCH: dtc take 2] Assemble the blob in memory before writing it out.

From: Jerry Van Baren <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 21:59:51 -0400

This makes padding out the blob if the user requested extra size much
easer.  The assembly and writing to the file is more straight forward too.

Hi David, Jon,

I wasn't happy with David's suggestion on the -S handling.  I also wasn't
all that wild about how the blob was assembled and then written to the
file piecemeal with "ad-hoc" alignment padding.  I realized I could fix
both by assembling the blob in memory as a "struct data" and then write
the whole thing out in one fell swoop.

Makes it a lot simpler and cleaner to my eyes.

Hope y'all agree,
gvb
