 * \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().
 *
 * To start, you should probably first look at the definitions of
 * ::TALLOC_CTX, talloc_init(), talloc() and 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.

/**
 * \typedef TALLOC_CTX
 * \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.

 * \param function The destructor function to be called
 * \ingroup talloc_basic
 *
 * The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the "destructor" for the pointer
 * "ptr". A destructor is a function that is called when the memory used by a
 * pointer is about to be released. The destructor receives the pointer as an
 * argument, and should return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
 *
 * 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
 * ignored. This would be a pointless operation anyway, as the destructor is
 * only called when the memory is just about to go away.
