Fix byte offsets of lines returned by LogcatProcessor.tail - #1033

For every block except the one at the start of the file, the offset of the first line did not count the newline after the partial remainder, so all lines in that block were placed one byte too early.

Nice catch! It seems like can compute |

Thanks, that reads better. Applied in 2d63b39, the offset is now set in each branch and the second check is gone. |

tail()reads the file backwards in 64KB blocks. For every block except the one at the start of the file, the offset of the first complete line did not count the newline after the partial remainder, so all lines in that block got a position one byte too early.In practice this means that for logcat files over 64KB, a line logged after
now()and read back withtail()compares as earlier than thenow()marker. The added test covers that case, and offsets fromtail()now match those fromget_lines().
