/* Templated vector type and associated interfaces.
 
   The interface functions are typesafe and use inline functions,
   sometimes backed by out-of-line generic functions.  The vectors are
   designed to interoperate with the GTY machinery.
 
   There are both 'index' and 'iterate' accessors.  The index accessor
   is implemented by operator[].  The iterator returns a boolean
   iteration condition and updates the iteration variable passed by
   reference.  Because the iterator will be inlined, the address-of
   can be optimized away.
 
   Each operation that increases the number of active elements is
   available in 'quick' and 'safe' variants.  The former presumes that
   there is sufficient allocated space for the operation to succeed
   (it dies if there is not).  The latter will reallocate the
   vector, if needed.  Reallocation causes an exponential increase in
   vector size.  If you know you will be adding N elements, it would
   be more efficient to use the reserve operation before adding the
   elements with the 'quick' operation.  This will ensure there are at
   least as many elements as you ask for, it will exponentially
   increase if there are too few spare slots.  If you want reserve a
   specific number of slots, but do not want the exponential increase
   (for instance, you know this is the last allocation), use the
   reserve_exact operation.  You can also create a vector of a
   specific size from the get go.
 
   You should prefer the push and pop operations, as they append and
   remove from the end of the vector. If you need to remove several
   items in one go, use the truncate operation.  The insert and remove
   operations allow you to change elements in the middle of the
   vector.  There are two remove operations, one which preserves the
   element ordering 'ordered_remove', and one which does not
   'unordered_remove'.  The latter function copies the end element
   into the removed slot, rather than invoke a memmove operation.  The
   'lower_bound' function will determine where to place an item in the
   array using insert that will maintain sorted order.
 
   Vectors are template types with three arguments: the type of the
   elements in the vector, the allocation strategy, and the physical
   layout to use
 
   Four allocation strategies are supported:
 
        - Heap: allocation is done using malloc/free.  This is the
          default allocation strategy.
 
        - GC: allocation is done using ggc_alloc/ggc_free.
 
        - GC atomic: same as GC with the exception that the elements
          themselves are assumed to be of an atomic type that does
          not need to be garbage collected.  This means that marking
          routines do not need to traverse the array marking the
          individual elements.  This increases the performance of
          GC activities.
 
   Two physical layouts are supported:
 
        - Embedded: The vector is structured using the trailing array
          idiom.  The last member of the structure is an array of size
          1.  When the vector is initially allocated, a single memory
          block is created to hold the vector's control data and the
          array of elements.  These vectors cannot grow without
          reallocation (see discussion on embeddable vectors below).
 
        - Space efficient: The vector is structured as a pointer to an
          embedded vector.  This is the default layout.  It means that
          vectors occupy a single word of storage before initial
          allocation.  Vectors are allowed to grow (the internal
          pointer is reallocated but the main vector instance does not
          need to relocate).
 
   The type, allocation and layout are specified when the vector is
   declared.
 
   If you need to directly manipulate a vector, then the 'address'
   accessor will return the address of the start of the vector.  Also
   the 'space' predicate will tell you whether there is spare capacity
   in the vector.  You will not normally need to use these two functions.
 
   Not all vector operations support non-POD types and such restrictions
   are enforced through static assertions.  Some operations which often use
   memmove to move elements around like quick_insert, safe_insert,
   ordered_remove, unordered_remove, block_remove etc. require trivially
   copyable types.  Sorting operations, qsort, sort and stablesort, require
   those too but as an extension allow also std::pair of 2 trivially copyable
   types which happens to work even when std::pair itself isn't trivially
   copyable.  The quick_grow and safe_grow operations require trivially
   default constructible types.  One can use quick_grow_cleared or
   safe_grow_cleared for non-trivially default constructible types if needed
   (but of course such operation is more expensive then).  The pop operation
   returns reference to the last element only for trivially destructible
   types, for non-trivially destructible types one should use last operation
   followed by pop which in that case returns void.
   And finally, the GC and GC atomic vectors should always be used with
   trivially destructible types, as nothing will invoke destructors when they
   are freed during GC.
 
   Notes on the different layout strategies
 
   * Embeddable vectors (vec<T, A, vl_embed>)
   
     These vectors are suitable to be embedded in other data
     structures so that they can be pre-allocated in a contiguous
     memory block.
 
     Embeddable vectors are implemented using the trailing array
     idiom, thus they are not resizeable without changing the address
     of the vector object itself.  This means you cannot have
     variables or fields of embeddable vector type -- always use a
     pointer to a vector.  The one exception is the final field of a
     structure, which could be a vector type.
 
     You will have to use the embedded_size & embedded_init calls to
     create such objects, and they will not be resizeable (so the
     'safe' allocation variants are not available).
 
     Properties of embeddable vectors:
 
          - The whole vector and control data are allocated in a single
            contiguous block.  It uses the trailing-vector idiom, so
            allocation must reserve enough space for all the elements
            in the vector plus its control data.
          - The vector cannot be re-allocated.
          - The vector cannot grow nor shrink.
          - No indirections needed for access/manipulation.
          - It requires 2 words of storage (prior to vector allocation).
 
 
   * Space efficient vector (vec<T, A, vl_ptr>)
 
     These vectors can grow dynamically and are allocated together
     with their control data.  They are suited to be included in data
     structures.  Prior to initial allocation, they only take a single
     word of storage.
 
     These vectors are implemented as a pointer to embeddable vectors.
     The semantics allow for this pointer to be NULL to represent
     empty vectors.  This way, empty vectors occupy minimal space in
     the structure containing them.
 
     Properties:
 
        - The whole vector and control data are allocated in a single
          contiguous block.
        - The whole vector may be re-allocated.
        - Vector data may grow and shrink.
        - Access and manipulation requires a pointer test and
          indirection.
        - It requires 1 word of storage (prior to vector allocation).
 
   An example of their use would be,
 
   struct my_struct {
     // A space-efficient vector of tree pointers in GC memory.
     vec<tree, va_gc, vl_ptr> v;
   };
 
   struct my_struct *s;
 
   if (s->v.length ()) { we have some contents }
   s->v.safe_push (decl); // append some decl onto the end
   for (ix = 0; s->v.iterate (ix, &elt); ix++)
     { do something with elt }

/* Embeddable vector.  These vectors are suitable to be embedded
   in other data structures so that they can be pre-allocated in a
   contiguous memory block.
 
   Embeddable vectors are implemented using the trailing array idiom,
   thus they are not resizeable without changing the address of the
   vector object itself.  This means you cannot have variables or
   fields of embeddable vector type -- always use a pointer to a
   vector.  The one exception is the final field of a structure, which
   could be a vector type.
 
   You will have to use the embedded_size & embedded_init calls to
   create such objects, and they will not be resizeable (so the 'safe'
   allocation variants are not available).
 
   Properties:
 
        - The whole vector and control data are allocated in a single
          contiguous block.  It uses the trailing-vector idiom, so
          allocation must reserve enough space for all the elements
          in the vector plus its control data.
        - The vector cannot be re-allocated.
        - The vector cannot grow nor shrink.
        - No indirections needed for access/manipulation.
        - It requires 2 words of storage (prior to vector allocation).  */

/* Space efficient vector.  These vectors can grow dynamically and are
   allocated together with their control data.  They are suited to be
   included in data structures.  Prior to initial allocation, they
   only take a single word of storage.
 
   These vectors are implemented as a pointer to an embeddable vector.
   The semantics allow for this pointer to be NULL to represent empty
   vectors.  This way, empty vectors occupy minimal space in the
   structure containing them.
 
   Properties:
 
        - The whole vector and control data are allocated in a single
          contiguous block.
        - The whole vector may be re-allocated.
        - Vector data may grow and shrink.
        - Access and manipulation requires a pointer test and
          indirection.
        - It requires 1 word of storage (prior to vector allocation).
 
 
   Limitations:
 
   These vectors must be PODs because they are stored in unions.
   (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_data_structures).
   As long as we use C++03, we cannot have constructors nor
   destructors in classes that are stored in unions.  */
