/*
 * An Alist implements array lists. The functionality is similar to
 * that of a linked list. However, an Alist is represented by a single
 * contigious allocation of memory. The head of the memory is a header
 * that contains control information for the list. Following the header
 * is an array used to hold the user data. In the type definitions that
 * follow, we define these as an array with a single element, but when
 * we allocate the memory, we actually allocate the amount of memory needed.
 *
 * There are two "flavors" of array list:
 *
 *	Alist - Contain arbitrary data, usually structs.
 *	APlist - Contain pointers to data allocated elsewhere.
 *
 * This differentiation is useful, because pointer lists are heavily
 * used, and support a slightly different set of operations that are
 * unique to their purpose.
 *
 * Array lists are initially represented by a NULL pointer. The memory
 * for the list is only allocated if an item is inserted. This is very
 * efficient for data structures that may or may not be needed for a
 * given linker operation --- you only pay for what you use. In addition:
 *
 *	- Array lists grow as needed (memory is reallocated as necessary)
 *	- Data is kept contiguously (no unused holes in between elements)
 *		at the beginning of the data area. This locality has
 *		good cache behavior, as access to adjacent items are
 *		highly likely to be in the same page of memory.
 *	- Insert/Delete operations at the end of the list are very
 *		efficient. However, insert/delete operations elsewhere
 *		will cause a relatively expensive overlapped memory
 *		copy of the data following the insert/delete location.
 *	- As with any generic memory alloctor (i.e. malloc()/free()),
 *		array lists are not type safe for the data they contain.
 *		Data is managed as (void *) pointers to data of a given
 *		length, so the Alist module cannot prevent the caller from
 *		inserting/extracting the wrong type of data. The caller
 *		must guard against this.
 *	- To free an array list, simply call the standard free() function
 *		on the list pointer.

/*
 * Alist is used to hold non-pointer items --- usually structs:
 *	- There must be an even number of Aliste fields before the
 *		al_data field. This ensures that al_data will have
 *		an alignment of 8, no matter whether sizeof(Aliste)
 *		is 4 or 8. That means that al_data will have sufficient
 *		alignment for any use, just like memory allocated via
 *		malloc().
 *	- al_nitems and al_next are redundant, in that they are
 *		directly related:
 *			al_next = al_nitems * al_size
 *		We do this to make ALIST_TRAVERSE_BYOFFSET maximally
 *		efficient. This doesn't waste space, because of the
 *		requirement to have an even # of Alist fields (above).
 *
 * Note that Alists allow the data to be referenced by 0 based array
 * index, or by their byte offset from the start of the Alist memory
 * allocation. The index form is preferred for most use, as it is simpler.
 * However, by-offset access is used by rtld link maps, and this ability
 * is convenient in that case.

/*
 * APlist is a variant of Alist that contains pointers. There are several

 *	- API is simpler

 * The TRAVERSE macros are intended to be used within a for(), and

 *	ALIST_TRAVERSE: Traverse over the items in an Alist,

 *		each item.
 *	ALIST_TRAVERSE_BY_OFFSET: Traverse over the items in an
 *		Alist using the byte offset from the head of the
 *		Alist pointer to refer to each item. It should be noted
 *		that the first such offset is given by ALIST_OFF_DATA,
 *		and as such, there will never be a 0 offset. Some code
 *		uses this fact to treat 0 as a reserved value with
 *		special meaning.
 *
 *		By-offset access is convenient for some parts of
 *		rtld, where a value of 0 is used to indicate an
