 * ares_data struct definition is internal to c-ares and shall not

 * and extensions to it without breaking ABI.  This will be used
 * internally by c-ares as the container of multiple types of data
 * dynamically allocated for which a reference will be returned
 * to the calling application.
 *
 * c-ares API functions returning a pointer to c-ares internally
 * allocated data will actually be returning an interior pointer
 * into this ares_data struct.
 *
 * All this is 'invisible' to the calling application, the only
 * requirement is that this kind of data must be free'ed by the
 * calling application using ares_free_data() with the pointer
 * it has received from a previous c-ares function call.
