/* A GAtomicArray is a growable, mutable array of data
* generally of the form of a header of a specific size and
* then a array of items of a fixed size.
*
* It is possible to do lock-less read transactions from the
* array without any protection against other reads or writes,
* but such read operation must be aware that the data in the
* atomic array can change at any time during the transaction,
* and only at the end can we verify if the transaction succeeded
* or not. Thus the reading transaction cannot for instance
* dereference a pointer in the array inside the transaction.
*
* The size of an array however cannot change during a read
* transaction.
*
* Writes to the array is done in a copy-update style, but there
* is no real protection against multiple writers overwriting each
* others updates, so writes must be protected by an external lock.
