+ *
+ * \section intro_sec Introduction
+ *
+ * Talloc is a hierarchical, reference counted memory pool system with
+ * destructors. Quite a mouthful really, but not too bad once you get used to
+ * it.
+ *
+ * Perhaps the biggest difference from other memory pool systems is that there
+ * is no distinction between a "talloc context" and a "talloc pointer". Any
+ * pointer returned from talloc() is itself a valid talloc context. This means
+ * you can do this:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * struct foo *X = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
+ * X->name = talloc_strdup(X, "foo");
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * and the pointer X->name would be a "child" of the talloc context "X" which
+ * is itself a child of mem_ctx. So if you do talloc_free(mem_ctx) then it is
+ * all destroyed, whereas if you do talloc_free(X) then just X and X->name are
+ * destroyed, and if you do talloc_free(X->name) then just the name element of
+ * X is destroyed.
+ *
+ * If you think about this, then what this effectively gives you is an n-ary
+ * tree, where you can free any part of the tree with talloc_free().
+ *
+ * \section named_blocks Named blocks
+ *
+ * Every talloc chunk has a name that can be used as a dynamic type-checking
+ * system. If for some reason like a callback function you had to cast a
+ * "struct foo *" to a "void *" variable, later you can safely reassign the
+ * "void *" pointer to a "struct foo *" by using the talloc_get_type() or
+ * talloc_get_type_abort() macros.
+ *
+ * \code
+ * struct foo *X = talloc_get_type_abort(ptr, struct foo);
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * This will abort if "ptr" does not contain a pointer that has been created
+ * with talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo).
+ *
+ * \section multi_threading Multi-Threading
+ *
+ * talloc itself does not deal with threads. It is thread-safe (assuming the
+ * underlying "malloc" is), as long as each thread uses different memory
+ * contexts.
+ *
+ * If two threads uses the same context then they need to synchronize in order
+ * to be safe. In particular:
+ *
+ *
+ * - when using talloc_enable_leak_report(), giving directly NULL as a
+ * parent context implicitly refers to a hidden "null context" global
+ * variable, so this should not be used in a multi-threaded environment
+ * without proper synchronization
+ * - the context returned by talloc_autofree_context() is also global so
+ * shouldn't be used by several threads simultaneously without
+ * synchronization.

+ * \brief Define a talloc parent type
+ * \ingroup talloc_basic
+ *
+ * As talloc is a hierarchial memory allocator, every talloc chunk is a
+ * potential parent to other talloc chunks. So defining a separate type for a
+ * talloc chunk is not strictly necessary. TALLOC_CTX is defined nevertheless,
+ * as it provides an indicator for function arguments. You will frequently
+ * write code like
+ *
+ * \code
+ * struct foo *foo_create(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
+ * {
+ * struct foo *result;
+ * result = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
+ * if (result == NULL) return NULL;
+ * ... initialize foo ...
+ * return result;
+ * }
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * In this type of allocating functions it is handy to have a general
+ * TALLOC_CTX type to indicate which parent to put allocated structures on.

+ *
+ * The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the "destructor" for the pointer

+ *
+ * The destructor can do anything it wants to, including freeing other pieces
+ * of memory. A common use for destructors is to clean up operating system
+ * resources (such as open file descriptors) contained in the structure the
+ * destructor is placed on.
+ *
+ * You can only place one destructor on a pointer. If you need more than one
+ * destructor then you can create a zero-length child of the pointer and place
+ * an additional destructor on that.
+ *
+ * To remove a destructor call talloc_set_destructor() with NULL for the
+ * destructor.
+ *
+ * If your destructor attempts to talloc_free() the pointer that it is the
+ * destructor for then talloc_free() will return -1 and the free will be
