// Simple allocator for pieces of a memory block that may be persistent
// to some storage or shared across multiple processes. This class resides
// under base/metrics because it was written for that purpose. It is,
// however, fully general-purpose and can be freely moved to base/memory
// if other uses are found.
//
// This class provides for thread-secure (i.e. safe against other threads
// or processes that may be compromised and thus have malicious intent)
// allocation of memory within a designated block and also a mechanism by
// which other threads can learn of these allocations.
//
// There is (currently) no way to release an allocated block of data because
// doing so would risk invalidating pointers held by other processes and
// greatly complicate the allocation algorithm.
//
// Construction of this object can accept new, clean (i.e. zeroed) memory
// or previously initialized memory. In the first case, construction must
// be allowed to complete before letting other allocators attach to the same
// segment. In other words, don't share the segment until at least one
// allocator has been attached to it.
//
// Note that memory not in active use is not accessed so it is possible to
// use virtual memory, including memory-mapped files, as backing storage with
// the OS "pinning" new (zeroed) physical RAM pages only as they are needed.
//
// OBJECTS: Although the allocator can be used in a "malloc" sense, fetching
// character arrays and manipulating that memory manually, the better way is
// generally to use the "object" methods to create and manage allocations. In
// this way the sizing, type-checking, and construction are all automatic. For
// this to work, however, every type of stored object must define two public
// "constexpr" values, kPersistentTypeId and kExpectedInstanceSize, as such:
//
// struct MyPersistentObjectType {
//     // SHA1(MyPersistentObjectType): Increment this if structure changes!
//     static constexpr uint32_t kPersistentTypeId = 0x3E15F6DE + 1;
//
//     // Expected size for 32/64-bit check. Update this if structure changes!
//     static constexpr size_t kExpectedInstanceSize = 20;
//
//     ...
// };
//
// kPersistentTypeId: This value is an arbitrary identifier that allows the
//   identification of these objects in the allocator, including the ability
//   to find them via iteration. The number is arbitrary but using the first
//   four bytes of the SHA1 hash of the type name means that there shouldn't
//   be any conflicts with other types that may also be stored in the memory.
//   The fully qualified name (e.g. base::debug::MyPersistentObjectType) could
//   be used to generate the hash if the type name seems common. Use a command
//   like this to get the hash: echo -n "MyPersistentObjectType" | sha1sum
//   If the structure layout changes, ALWAYS increment this number so that
//   newer versions of the code don't try to interpret persistent data written
//   by older versions with a different layout.
//
// kExpectedInstanceSize: This value is the hard-coded number that matches
//   what sizeof(T) would return. By providing it explicitly, the allocator can
//   verify that the structure is compatible between both 32-bit and 64-bit
//   versions of the code.
//
// Using New manages the memory and then calls the default constructor for the
// object. Given that objects are persistent, no destructor is ever called
// automatically though a caller can explicitly call Delete to destruct it and
// change the type to something indicating it is no longer in use.
//
// Though persistent memory segments are transferrable between programs built
// for different natural word widths, they CANNOT be exchanged between CPUs
// of different endianess. Attempts to do so will simply see the existing data
// as corrupt and refuse to access any of it.
