/* Allocation buffers are used to carve out sub-allocations from a
   larger allocation.  Their primary application is in writing NSS
   modules, which receive a caller-allocated buffer in which they are
   expected to store variable-length results:

     void *buffer = ...;
     size_t buffer_size = ...;

     struct alloc_buffer buf = alloc_buffer_create (buffer, buffer_size);
     result->gr_name = alloc_buffer_copy_string (&buf, name);

     // Allocate a list of group_count groups and copy strings into it.
     char **group_list = alloc_buffer_alloc_array
       (&buf, char *, group_count  + 1);
     if (group_list == NULL)
       return ...; // Request a larger buffer.
     for (int i = 0; i < group_count; ++i)
       group_list[i] = alloc_buffer_copy_string (&buf, group_list_src[i]);
     group_list[group_count] = NULL;
     ...

     if (alloc_buffer_has_failed (&buf))
       return ...; // Request a larger buffer.
     result->gr_mem = group_list;
     ...

   Note that it is not necessary to check the results of individual
   allocation operations if the returned pointer is not dereferenced.
   Allocation failure is sticky, so one check using
   alloc_buffer_has_failed at the end covers all previous failures.

   A different use case involves combining multiple heap allocations
   into a single, large one.  In the following example, an array of
   doubles and an array of ints is allocated:

     size_t double_array_size = ...;
     size_t int_array_size = ...;

     void *heap_ptr;
     struct alloc_buffer buf = alloc_buffer_allocate
       (double_array_size * sizeof (double) + int_array_size * sizeof (int),
        &heap_ptr);
     _Static_assert (__alignof__ (double) >= __alignof__ (int),
                     "no padding after double array");
     double *double_array = alloc_buffer_alloc_array
       (&buf, double, double_array_size);
     int *int_array = alloc_buffer_alloc_array (&buf, int, int_array_size);
     if (alloc_buffer_has_failed (&buf))
       return ...; // Report error.
     ...
     free (heap_ptr);

   The advantage over manual coding is that the computation of the
   allocation size does not need an overflow check.  In case of an
   overflow, one of the subsequent allocations from the buffer will
   fail.  The initial size computation is checked for consistency at
   run time, too.  */

/* Like alloc_buffer_alloc, but do not advance the pointer beyond the
   object (so a subsequent call to alloc_buffer_next or
   alloc_buffer_alloc returns the same pointer).  Note that the buffer
   is still aligned according to the requirements of TYPE, potentially
   consuming buffer space.  The effect of this function is similar to
   allocating a zero-length array from the buffer.

   It is possible to use the return pointer to write to the buffer and
   consume the written bytes using alloc_buffer_alloc_bytes (which
   does not change the buffer contents), but the calling code needs to
   perform manual length checks using alloc_buffer_size.  For example,
   to read as many int32_t values that are available in the input file
   and can fit into the remaining buffer space, you can use this:

     int32_t array = alloc_buffer_next (buf, int32_t);
     size_t ret = fread (array, sizeof (int32_t),
                         alloc_buffer_size (buf) / sizeof (int32_t), fp);
     if (ferror (fp))
       handle_error ();
     alloc_buffer_alloc_array (buf, int32_t, ret);

   The alloc_buffer_alloc_array call makes the actually-used part of
   the buffer permanent.  The remaining part of the buffer (not filled
   with data from the file) can be used for something else.

   This manual length checking can easily introduce errors, so this
   coding style is not recommended.  */
