/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * memutils_memorychunk.h
 *	  Here we define a struct named MemoryChunk which implementations of
 *	  MemoryContexts may use as a header for chunks of memory they allocate.
 *
 * MemoryChunk provides a lightweight header that a MemoryContext can use to
 * store a reference back to the block which the given chunk is allocated on
 * and also an additional 30-bits to store another value such as the size of
 * the allocated chunk.
 *
 * Although MemoryChunks are used by each of our MemoryContexts, future
 * implementations may choose to implement their own method for storing chunk
 * headers.  The only requirement is that the header ends with an 8-byte value
 * which the least significant 3-bits of are set to the MemoryContextMethodID
 * of the given context.
 *
 * By default, a MemoryChunk is 8 bytes in size, however, when
 * MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING is defined the header becomes 16 bytes in size due
 * to the additional requested_size field.  The MemoryContext may use this
 * field for whatever they wish, but it is intended to be used for additional
 * checks which are only done in MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.
 *
 * The MemoryChunk contains a uint64 field named 'hdrmask'.  This field is
 * used to encode 4 separate pieces of information.  Starting with the least
 * significant bits of 'hdrmask', the bit space is reserved as follows:
 *
 * 1.	3-bits to indicate the MemoryContextMethodID as defined by
 *		MEMORY_CONTEXT_METHODID_MASK
 * 2.	1-bit to denote an "external" chunk (see below)
 * 3.	30-bits reserved for the MemoryContext to use for anything it
 *		requires.  Most MemoryContext likely want to store the size of the
 *		chunk here.
 * 4.	30-bits for the number of bytes that must be subtracted from the chunk
 *		to obtain the address of the block that the chunk is stored on.
 *
 * In some cases, for example when memory allocations become large, it's
 * possible fields 3 and 4 above are not large enough to store the values
 * required for the chunk.  In this case, the MemoryContext can choose to mark
 * the chunk as "external" by calling the MemoryChunkSetHdrMaskExternal()
 * function.  When this is done, fields 3 and 4 are unavailable for use by the
 * MemoryContext and it's up to the MemoryContext itself to devise its own
 * method for getting the reference to the block.
 *
 * Interface:
 *
 * MemoryChunkSetHdrMask:
 *		Used to set up a non-external MemoryChunk.
 *
 * MemoryChunkSetHdrMaskExternal:
 *		Used to set up an externally managed MemoryChunk.
 *
 * MemoryChunkIsExternal:
 *		Determine if the given MemoryChunk is externally managed, i.e.
 *		MemoryChunkSetHdrMaskExternal() was called on the chunk.
 *
 * MemoryChunkGetValue:
 *		For non-external chunks, return the stored 30-bit value as it was set
 *		in the call to MemoryChunkSetHdrMask().
 *
 * MemoryChunkGetBlock:
 *		For non-external chunks, return a pointer to the block as it was set
 *		in the call to MemoryChunkSetHdrMask().
 *
 * Also exports:
 *		MEMORYCHUNK_MAX_VALUE
 *		MEMORYCHUNK_MAX_BLOCKOFFSET
 *		PointerGetMemoryChunk
 *		MemoryChunkGetPointer
