32 /**
33  * P9Array provides a mechanism to access arrays in common C-style (e.g. by
34  * square bracket [] operator) in conjunction with reference variables that
35  * perform deep auto free of the array when leaving the scope of the auto
36  * reference variable. That means not only is the array itself automatically
37  * freed, but also memory dynamically allocated by the individual array
38  * elements.
39  *
40  * Example:
41  *
42  * Consider the following user struct @c Foo which shall be used as scalar
43  * (element) type of an array:
44  * @code
45  * typedef struct Foo {
46  *     int i;
47  *     char *s;
48  * } Foo;
49  * @endcode
50  * and assume it has the following function to free memory allocated by @c Foo
51  * instances:
52  * @code
53  * void free_foo(Foo *foo) {
54  *     free(foo->s);
55  * }
56  * @endcode
57  * Add the following to a shared header file:
58  * @code
59  * P9ARRAY_DECLARE_TYPE(Foo);
60  * @endcode
61  * and the following to a C unit file:
62  * @code
63  * P9ARRAY_DEFINE_TYPE(Foo, free_foo);
64  * @endcode
65  * Finally the array may then be used like this:
66  * @code
67  * void doSomething(size_t n) {
68  *     P9ARRAY_REF(Foo) foos = NULL;
69  *     P9ARRAY_NEW(Foo, foos, n);
70  *     for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
71  *         foos[i].i = i;
72  *         foos[i].s = calloc(4096, 1);
73  *         snprintf(foos[i].s, 4096, "foo %d", i);
74  *         if (...) {
75  *             return; // array auto freed here
76  *         }
77  *     }
78  *     // array auto freed here
79  * }
80  * @endcode
