45  * An Alist implements array lists. The functionality is similar to
46  * that of a linked list. However, an Alist is represented by a single
47  * contigious allocation of memory. The head of the memory is a header
48  * that contains control information for the list. Following the header
49  * is an array used to hold the user data. In the type definitions that
50  * follow, we define these as an array with a single element, but when
51  * we allocate the memory, we actually allocate the amount of memory needed.
52  *
53  * There are two "flavors" of array list:
54  *
55  *	Alist - Contain arbitrary data, usually structs.
56  *	APlist - Contain pointers to data allocated elsewhere.
57  *
58  * This differentiation is useful, because pointer lists are heavily
59  * used, and support a slightly different set of operations that are
60  * unique to their purpose.
61  *
62  * Array lists are initially represented by a NULL pointer. The memory
63  * for the list is only allocated if an item is inserted. This is very
64  * efficient for data structures that may or may not be needed for a
65  * given linker operation --- you only pay for what you use. In addition:
66  *
67  *	- Array lists grow as needed (memory is reallocated as necessary)
68  *	- Data is kept contiguously (no unused holes in between elements)
69  *		at the beginning of the data area. This locality has
70  *		good cache behavior, as access to adjacent items are
71  *		highly likely to be in the same page of memory.
72  *	- Insert/Delete operations at the end of the list are very
73  *		efficient. However, insert/delete operations elsewhere
74  *		will cause a relatively expensive overlapped memory
75  *		copy of the data following the insert/delete location.
76  *	- As with any generic memory alloctor (i.e. malloc()/free()),
77  *		array lists are not type safe for the data they contain.
78  *		Data is managed as (void *) pointers to data of a given
79  *		length, so the Alist module cannot prevent the caller from
80  *		inserting/extracting the wrong type of data. The caller
81  *		must guard against this.
82  *	- To free an array list, simply call the standard free() function
83  *		on the list pointer.

96  * Alist is used to hold non-pointer items --- usually structs:
97  *	- There must be an even number of Aliste fields before the
98  *		al_data field. This ensures that al_data will have
99  *		an alignment of 8, no matter whether sizeof(Aliste)
100  *		is 4 or 8. That means that al_data will have sufficient
101  *		alignment for any use, just like memory allocated via
102  *		malloc().
103  *	- al_nitems and al_next are redundant, in that they are
104  *		directly related:
105  *			al_next = al_nitems * al_size
106  *		We do this to make ALIST_TRAVERSE_BYOFFSET maximally
107  *		efficient. This doesn't waste space, because of the
108  *		requirement to have an even # of Alist fields (above).
109  *
110  * Note that Alists allow the data to be referenced by 0 based array
111  * index, or by their byte offset from the start of the Alist memory
112  * allocation. The index form is preferred for most use, as it is simpler.
113  * However, by-offset access is used by rtld link maps, and this ability
114  * is convenient in that case.
