// Fidl data types have a representation in a wire format. This wire
// format is shared by all language bindings, including C11 and C++.
//
// The C bindings also define a representation of fidl data types. For
// a given type, the size and alignment of all parts of the type agree
// with the wire format's representation. The C representation differs
// in the representation of pointers to out-of-line allocations. On
// the wire, allocations are encoded as either present or not. In C,
// they are actual pointers. The C representation also places any
// transferred handle types (including requests) inline. The wire
// format tracks handles separately, just like the underlying channel
// transport does.
//
// Turning the wire format into the C format is called decoding.
//
// Turning the C format into the wire format is called encoding.

// The formats are designed to allow for in-place coding, assuming all
// out-of-line allocations placed are in traversal order (defined

// no explicit bound is given, then FIDL_MAX_SIZE is implied.

// (corresponding to actual pointer types in the C format) as

// ---------------------------------------------
// bool bool A boolean.
// int8 int8_t An 8 bit signed integer.

// Enums.
// Fidl enums have an undering integer type (one of int8, int16,
// int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, or uint64). The wire format of
// an enum and the C format of an enum are the same as the
// corresponding primitive type.
// String types.
// Fidl strings are variable-length UTF-8 strings. Strings can be
// nullable (string?) or nonnullable (string); if nullable, the null
// string is distinct from the empty string. Strings can be bounded to
// a fixed byte length (e.g. string:40? is a nullable string of at
// most 40 bytes).
// Strings are not guaranteed to be nul terminated. Strings can
// contain embedded nuls throughout their length.
// The fidl wire format dictates that strings are valid UTF-8. It is
// up to clients to provide well-formed UTF-8 and servers to check for
// it. Message encoding and decoding can, but does not by default,
// perform this check.
// All deserialized string types are represented by the fidl_string_t
// structure. This structure consists of a size (in bytes) and a
// pointer to an out-of-line allocation of uint8_t, guaranteed to be
// at least as long as the length.
// The bound on a string type is not present in the serialized format,
// but is checked as part of validation.

} fidl_string_t;
// When encoded, an absent nullable string is represented as a
// fidl_string_t with size 0 and FIDL_ALLOC_ABSENT data, with no
// out-of-line allocation associated with it. A present string
// (nullable or not) is represented as a fidl_string_t with some size
// and with data equal to FIDL_ALLOC_PRESENT, which the decoding
// process replaces with an actual pointer to the next out-of-line
// allocation.

// string:N? fidl_string_t An optional string up to N bytes long.
// Arrays.
// On the wire, an array of N objects of type T (array<T, N>) is
// represented the same as N contiguous Ts. Equivalently, it is
// represented the same as a nonnullable struct containing N fields
// all of type T.
// In C, this is just represented as a C array of the corresponding C
// type.
// Vector types.
// Fidl vectors are variable-length arrays of a given type T. Vectors
// can be nullable (vector<T>?) or nonnullable (vector<T>); if
// nullable, the null vector is distinct from the empty
// vector. Vectors can be bounded to a fixed element length
// (e.g. vector<T>:40? is a nullable vector of at most 40 Ts).
// All deserialized vector types are represented by the fidl_vector_t
// structure. This structure consists of a count and a pointer to the
// bytes.
// The bound on a vector type is not present in the serialized format,
// but is checked as part of validation.

// fidl_vector_t with size 0 and FIDL_ALLOC_ABSENT data, with no

// (nullable or not) is represented as a fidl_vector_t with some size
// and with data equal to FIDL_ALLOC_PRESENT, which the decoding
// process replaces with an actual pointer to the next out-of-line

// vector<T> fidl_vector_t A vector of T, of arbitrary length.

// vector<T>:N? fidl_vector_t An optional vector of T, up to N elements.
// Envelope.
// An efficient way to encapsulate uninterpreted FIDL messages.
// - Stores a variable size uninterpreted payload out-of-line.
// - Payload may contain an arbitrary number of bytes and handles.
// - Allows for encapsulation of one FIDL message inside of another.
// - Building block for extensible structures such as tables & extensible
// unions.
// When encoded for transfer, |data| indicates presence of content:
// - FIDL_ALLOC_ABSENT : envelope is null
// - FIDL_ALLOC_PRESENT : envelope is non-null, |data| is the next out-of-line object
// When decoded for consumption, |data| is a pointer to content.
// - nullptr : envelope is null
// - <valid pointer> : envelope is non-null, |data| is at indicated memory address

// Handle types.
// Handle types are encoded directly. Just like primitive types, there

// Handle types are either nullable (handle?), or not (handle); and
// either explicitly typed (e.g. handle<Channel> or handle<Job>), or
// not.
// All fidl handle types, regardless of subtype, are represented as
// zx_handle_t. The encoding tables do know the handle subtypes,
// however, for clients which wish to perform explicit checking.
// The following are the possible handle subtypes.
// process
// thread
// vmo
// channel
// event
// port
// interrupt
// iomap
// pci
// log
// socket
// resource
// eventpair
// job
// vmar
// fifo
// hypervisor
// guest
// timer
// All handle types are 4 byte sized and aligned on the wire.
// When encoded, absent nullable handles are represented as

// represented as FIDL_HANDLE_PRESENT, which the decoding process will
// overwrite with the next handle value in the channel message.

// handle? zx_handle_t Any valid handle, or ZX_HANDLE_INVALID.
// handle<T> zx_handle_t Any valid T handle.
// handle<T>? zx_handle_t Any valid T handle, or ZX_HANDLE_INVALID.
// Unions.
// Fidl unions are a tagged sum type. The tag is a 4 bytes. For every
// union type, the fidl compiler generates an enum representing the
// different variants of the enum. This is followed, in C and on the
// wire, by large enough and aligned enough storage for all members of
// the union.
// Unions may be nullable. Nullable unions are represented as a
// pointer to an out of line allocation of tag-and-member. As with
// other out-of-line allocations, ones present on the wire take the
// value FIDL_ALLOC_PRESENT and those that are not are represented by
// FIDL_ALLOC_NULL. Nonnullable unions are represented inline as a
// tag-and-member.
// For each fidl union type, a corresponding C type is generated. They
// are all structs consisting of a fidl_union_tag_t discriminant,
// followed by an anonymous union of all the union members.

// Tables.
// Tables are 'flexible structs', where all members are optional, and new
// members can be added, or old members removed while preserving ABI
// compatibility. Each table member is referenced by ordinal, sequentially
// assigned from 1 onward, with no gaps. Each member content is stored
// out-of-line in an envelope, and a table is simply a vector of these envelopes
// with the requirement that the last envelope must be present in order
// to guarantee a canonical representation.

// Extensible unions, or "xunions" (colloquially pronounced "zoo-nions") are
// similar to unions, except that storage for union members are out-of-line
// rather than inline. This enables union members to be added and removed while
// preserving ABI compatibility with the existing xunion definition. Like
