//! Contains declarations to bind to the [C Data Interface](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface.html).
//!
//! Generally, this module is divided in two main interfaces:
//! One interface maps C ABI to native Rust types, i.e. convert c-pointers, c_char, to native rust.
//! This is handled by [FFI_ArrowSchema] and [FFI_ArrowArray].
//!
//! The second interface maps native Rust types to the Rust-specific implementation of Arrow such as `format` to `Datatype`,
//! `Buffer`, etc. This is handled by `ArrowArray`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::sync::Arc;
//! # use arrow::array::{Int32Array, Array, ArrayData, export_array_into_raw, make_array, make_array_from_raw};
//! # use arrow::error::{Result, ArrowError};
//! # use arrow::compute::kernels::arithmetic;
//! # use arrow::ffi::{FFI_ArrowArray, FFI_ArrowSchema};
//! # use std::convert::TryFrom;
//! # fn main() -> Result<()> {
//! // create an array natively
//! let array = Int32Array::from(vec![Some(1), None, Some(3)]);
//!
//! // export it
//! let (array_ptr, schema_ptr) = array.to_raw()?;
//!
//! // consumed and used by something else...
//!
//! // import it
//! let array = unsafe { make_array_from_raw(array_ptr, schema_ptr)? };
//!
//! // perform some operation
//! let array = array.as_any().downcast_ref::<Int32Array>().ok_or(
//!     ArrowError::ParseError("Expects an int32".to_string()),
//! )?;
//! let array = arithmetic::add(&array, &array)?;
//!
//! // verify
//! assert_eq!(array, Int32Array::from(vec![Some(2), None, Some(6)]));

/*
# Design:

Main assumptions:
* A memory region is deallocated according it its own release mechanism.
* Rust shares memory regions between arrays.
* A memory region should be deallocated when no-one is using it.

The design of this module is as follows:

`ArrowArray` contains two `Arc`s, one per ABI-compatible `struct`, each containing data
according to the C Data Interface. These Arcs are used for ref counting of the structs
within Rust and lifetime management.

Each ABI-compatible `struct` knowns how to `drop` itself, calling `release`.

To import an array, unsafely create an `ArrowArray` from two pointers using [ArrowArray::try_from_raw].
To export an array, create an `ArrowArray` using [ArrowArray::try_new].
