Function RM_ReplySetArrayLength

app/redis-6.2.6/src/module.c:1611–1630

When RedisModule_ReplyWithArray() is used with the argument * REDISMODULE_POSTPONED_ARRAY_LEN, because we don't know beforehand the number * of items we are going to output as elements of the array, this function * will take care to set the array length. * * Since it is possible to have multiple array replies pending with unknown * length, this function guarantees to always set the latest ar

 * that is not easy to calculate in advance the number of elements.
