/// `Bytes` is an efficient container for storing and operating on contiguous
/// slices of memory. It is intended for use primarily in networking code, but
/// could have applications elsewhere as well.
///
/// `Bytes` values facilitate zero-copy network programming by allowing multiple
/// `Bytes` objects to point to the same underlying memory. This is managed by
/// using a reference count to track when the memory is no longer needed and can
/// be freed.
///
/// ```
/// use bytes::Bytes;
///
/// let mut mem = Bytes::from(&b"Hello world"[..]);
/// let a = mem.slice(0, 5);

///
/// # Memory layout
///
/// The `Bytes` struct itself is fairly small, limited to a pointer to the
/// memory and 4 `usize` fields used to track information about which segment of
/// the underlying memory the `Bytes` handle has access to.
///
/// The memory layout looks like this:
///
/// ```text
/// +-------+
/// | Bytes |
/// +-------+
///  /      \_____
/// |              \
/// v               v
/// +-----+------------------------------------+
/// | Arc |         |      Data     |          |
/// +-----+------------------------------------+
/// ```
///
/// `Bytes` keeps both a pointer to the shared `Arc` containing the full memory
/// slice and a pointer to the start of the region visible by the handle.
/// `Bytes` also tracks the length of its view into the memory.
///
/// # Sharing
///
/// The memory itself is reference counted, and multiple `Bytes` objects may
/// point to the same region. Each `Bytes` handle point to different sections within
/// the memory region, and `Bytes` handle may or may not have overlapping views
/// into the memory.
///

/// # Mutating
///
/// While `Bytes` handles may potentially represent overlapping views of the
/// underlying memory slice and may not be mutated, `BytesMut` handles are
/// guaranteed to be the only handle able to view that slice of memory. As such,
/// `BytesMut` handles are able to mutate the underlying memory. Note that
/// holding a unique view to a region of memory does not mean that there are no
/// other `Bytes` and `BytesMut` handles with disjoint views of the underlying
/// memory.
///
/// # Inline bytes
///
/// As an optimization, when the slice referenced by a `Bytes` or `BytesMut`
/// handle is small enough [^1], `with_capacity` will avoid the allocation by
/// inlining the slice directly in the handle. In this case, a clone is no
/// longer "shallow" and the data will be copied.  Converting from a `Vec` will
/// never use inlining.
///
/// [^1]: Small enough: 31 bytes on 64 bit systems, 15 on 32 bit systems.
///
pub struct Bytes {
    inner: Inner,
}

/// A unique reference to a contiguous slice of memory.
///
/// `BytesMut` represents a unique view into a potentially shared memory region.
/// Given the uniqueness guarantee, owners of `BytesMut` handles are able to
/// mutate the memory. It is similar to a `Vec<u8>` but with less copies and
/// allocations.
///
/// For more detail, see [Bytes](struct.Bytes.html).
///
/// # Growth
///
/// One key difference from `Vec<u8>` is that most operations **do not
/// implicitly grow the buffer**. This means that calling `my_bytes.put("hello
/// world");` could panic if `my_bytes` does not have enough capacity. Before
/// writing to the buffer, ensure that there is enough remaining capacity by
/// calling `my_bytes.remaining_mut()`. In general, avoiding calls to `reserve`
/// is preferable.
///
/// The only exception is `extend` which implicitly reserves required capacity.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use bytes::{BytesMut, BufMut};
///
/// let mut buf = BytesMut::with_capacity(64);
///
/// buf.put(b'h');
/// buf.put(b'e');
/// buf.put("llo");
///
/// assert_eq!(&buf[..], b"hello");
///
/// // Freeze the buffer so that it can be shared
/// let a = buf.freeze();
///
/// // This does not allocate, instead `b` points to the same memory.
/// let b = a.clone();
///
/// assert_eq!(&a[..], b"hello");
/// assert_eq!(&b[..], b"hello");
/// ```
pub struct BytesMut {
    inner: Inner,
}

// Both `Bytes` and `BytesMut` are backed by `Inner` and functions are delegated
// to `Inner` functions. The `Bytes` and `BytesMut` shims ensure that functions
// that mutate the underlying buffer are only performed when the data range
// being mutated is only available via a single `BytesMut` handle.
//
// # Data storage modes
//
// The goal of `bytes` is to be as efficient as possible across a wide range of
// potential usage patterns. As such, `bytes` needs to be able to handle buffers
// that are never shared, shared on a single thread, and shared across many
// threads. `bytes` also needs to handle both tiny buffers as well as very large
// buffers. For example, [Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org) values have
// been known to be in the hundreds of megabyte, and HTTP header values can be a
// few characters in size.
//
// To achieve high performance in these various situations, `Bytes` and
// `BytesMut` use different strategies for storing the buffer depending on the
// usage pattern.
//
// ## Delayed `Arc` allocation
//
// When a `Bytes` or `BytesMut` is first created, there is only one outstanding
// handle referencing the buffer. Since sharing is not yet required, an `Arc`* is
// not used and the buffer is backed by a `Vec<u8>` directly. Using an
// `Arc<Vec<u8>>` requires two allocations, so if the buffer ends up never being
// shared, that allocation is avoided.
//
// When sharing does become necessary (`clone`, `split_to`, `split_off`), that
// is when the buffer is promoted to being shareable. The `Vec<u8>` is moved
// into an `Arc` and both the original handle and the new handle use the same
// buffer via the `Arc`.
//
// * `Arc` is being used to signify an atomically reference counted cell. We
// don't use the `Arc` implementation provided by `std` and instead use our own.
// This ends up simplifying a number of the `unsafe` code snippets.
//
// ## Inlining small buffers
//
// The `Bytes` / `BytesMut` structs require 4 pointer sized fields. On 64 bit
// systems, this ends up being 32 bytes, which is actually a lot of storage for
// cases where `Bytes` is being used to represent small byte strings, such as
// HTTP header names and values.
//
// To avoid any allocation at all in these cases, `Bytes` will use the struct
// itself for storing the buffer, reserving 1 byte for meta data. This means
// that, on 64 bit systems, 31 byte buffers require no allocation at all.
//
// The byte used for metadata stores a 2 bits flag used to indicate that the
// buffer is stored inline as well as 6 bits for tracking the buffer length (the
// return value of `Bytes::len`).
//
// ## Static buffers
//
// `Bytes` can also represent a static buffer, which is created with
// `Bytes::from_static`. No copying or allocations are required for tracking
// static buffers. The pointer to the `&'static [u8]`, the length, and a flag
// tracking that the `Bytes` instance represents a static buffer is stored in
// the `Bytes` struct.
//
// # Struct layout
//
// Both `Bytes` and `BytesMut` are wrappers around `Inner`, which provides the
// data fields as well as all of the function implementations.
//
// The `Inner` struct is carefully laid out in order to support the
// functionality described above as well as being as small as possible. Size is
// important as growing the size of the `Bytes` struct from 32 bytes to 40 bytes
// added as much as 15% overhead in benchmarks using `Bytes` in an HTTP header
// map structure.
//
// The `Inner` struct contains the following fields:
//
// * `ptr: *mut u8`
// * `len: usize`
// * `cap: usize`
// * `arc: AtomicPtr<Shared>`
//
// ## `ptr: *mut u8`
//
// A pointer to start of the handle's buffer view. When backed by a `Vec<u8>`,
// this is always the `Vec`'s pointer. When backed by an `Arc<Vec<u8>>`, `ptr`
// may have been shifted to point somewhere inside the buffer.
//
// When in "inlined" mode, `ptr` is used as part of the inlined buffer.
//
// ## `len: usize`
//
// The length of the handle's buffer view. When backed by a `Vec<u8>`, this is
// always the `Vec`'s length. The slice represented by `ptr` and `len` should
// (ideally) always be initialized memory.
//
// When in "inlined" mode, `len` is used as part of the inlined buffer.
//
// ## `cap: usize`
//
// The capacity of the handle's buffer view. When backed by a `Vec<u8>`, this is
// always the `Vec`'s capacity. The slice represented by `ptr+len` and `cap-len`
// may or may not be initialized memory.
//
// When in "inlined" mode, `cap` is used as part of the inlined buffer.
//
// ## `arc: AtomicPtr<Shared>`
//
// When `Inner` is in allocated mode (backed by Vec<u8> or Arc<Vec<u8>>), this
// will be the pointer to the `Arc` structure tracking the ref count for the
// underlying buffer. When the pointer is null, then the `Arc` has not been
// allocated yet and `self` is the only outstanding handle for the underlying
// buffer.
//
// The lower two bits of `arc` are used to track the storage mode of `Inner`.
// `0b01` indicates inline storage, `0b10` indicates static storage, and `0b11`
// indicates vector storage, not yet promoted to Arc.  Since pointers to
// allocated structures are aligned, the lower two bits of a pointer will always
// be 0. This allows disambiguating between a pointer and the two flags.
//
// When in "inlined" mode, the least significant byte of `arc` is also used to
// store the length of the buffer view (vs. the capacity, which is a constant).
//
// The rest of `arc`'s bytes are used as part of the inline buffer, which means
// that those bytes need to be located next to the `ptr`, `len`, and `cap`
// fields, which make up the rest of the inline buffer. This requires special
// casing the layout of `Inner` depending on if the target platform is bit or
// little endian.
//
// On little endian platforms, the `arc` field must be the first field in the
// struct. On big endian platforms, the `arc` field must be the last field in
// the struct. Since a deterministic struct layout is required, `Inner` is
// annotated with `#[repr(C)]`.
//
// # Thread safety
//
// `Bytes::clone()` returns a new `Bytes` handle with no copying. This is done
// by bumping the buffer ref count and returning a new struct pointing to the
// same buffer. However, the `Arc` structure is lazily allocated. This means
// that if `Bytes` is stored itself in an `Arc` (`Arc<Bytes>`), the `clone`
// function can be called concurrently from multiple threads. This is why an
// `AtomicPtr` is used for the `arc` field vs. a `*const`.
//
// Care is taken to ensure that the need for synchronization is minimized. Most
// operations do not require any synchronization.
