 * GVariantTypeInfo:
 *
 * This structure contains the necessary information to facilitate the
 * serialisation and fast deserialisation of a given type of GVariant
 * value.  A GVariant instance holds a pointer to one of these
 * structures to provide for efficient operation.
 *
 * The GVariantTypeInfo structures for all of the base types, plus the
 * "variant" type are stored in a read-only static array.
 *
 * For container types, a hash table and reference counting is used to
 * ensure that only one of these structures exists for any given type.
 * In general, a container GVariantTypeInfo will exist for a given type
 * only if one or more GVariant instances of that type exist or if
 * another GVariantTypeInfo has that type as a subtype.  For example, if
 * a process contains a single GVariant instance with type "(asv)", then
 * container GVariantTypeInfo structures will exist for "(asv)" and
 * for "as" (note that "s" and "v" always exist in the static array).
 *
 * The trickiest part of GVariantTypeInfo (and in fact, the major reason
 * for its existence) is the storage of somewhat magical constants that
 * allow for O(1) lookups of items in tuples.  This is described below.
 *
 * 'container_class' is set to 'a' or 'r' if the GVariantTypeInfo is
 * contained inside of an ArrayInfo or TupleInfo, respectively.  This
 * allows the storage of the necessary additional information.
 *
 * 'fixed_size' is set to the fixed size of the type, if applicable, or
 * 0 otherwise (since no type has a fixed size of 0).
 *
 * 'alignment' is set to one less than the alignment requirement for
 * this type.  This makes many operations much more convenient.

   *
   * Forgetting the '+ c' for the moment:
   *
   *   ROUND_UP(prev_end + a, (b + 1));
   *
   * we can do a "round up" operation by adding 1 less than the amount
   * to round up to, then rounding down.  ie:
   *
   *   #define ROUND_UP(x, y)    ROUND_DOWN(x + (y-1), y)
   *
   * Of course, for rounding down to a power of two, we can just mask
   * out the appropriate number of low order bits:
   *
   *   #define ROUND_DOWN(x, y)  (x & ~(y - 1))
   *
   * Which gives us
   *
   *   #define ROUND_UP(x, y)    (x + (y - 1) & ~(y - 1))
   *
   * but recall that our alignment value 'b' is already "one less".
   * This means that to round 'prev_end + a' up to 'b' we can just do:
   *
   *   ((prev_end + a) + b) & ~b
   *
   * Associativity, and putting the 'c' back on:
   *
   *   (prev_end + (a + b)) & ~b + c
   *
   * Now, since (a + b) is constant, we can just add 'b' to 'a' now and
   * store that as the number to add to prev_end.  Then we use ~b as the
   * number to take a bitwise 'and' with.  Finally, 'c' is added on.
   *
   * Note, however, that all the low order bits of the 'aligned' value
   * are masked out and that all of the high order bits of 'c' have been
   * "moved" to 'a' (in the previous step).  This means that there are
   * no overlapping bits in the addition -- so we can do a bitwise 'or'
   * equivalently.
   *
   * This means that we can now compute the start address of a given

 * That's a string followed by a uint32, then a tuple containing a
 * uint16 and a int64, then an int16, then our "i".  In order to get to

 *
 * Start at the end of the string, align to 4 (for the uint32), add 4.
 * Align to 8, add 16 (for the tuple).  Align to 2, add 2 (for the
 * int16).  Then we're there.  It turns out that, given 3 simple rules,
 * we can flatten this iteration into one addition, one alignment, then
 * one more addition.
 *
 * The loop below plays through each item in the tuple, querying its
 * alignment and fixed_size into 'd' and 'e', respectively.  At all
 * times the variables 'a', 'b', and 'c' are maintained such that in
 * order to get to the current point, you add 'a', align to 'b' then add
 * 'c'.  'b' is kept in "one less than" form.  For each item, the proper
 * alignment is applied to find the values of 'a', 'b' and 'c' to get to
 * the start of that item.  Those values are recorded into the table.
 * The fixed size of the item (if applicable) is then added on.
 *
 * These 3 rules are how 'a', 'b' and 'c' are modified for alignment and
 * addition of fixed size.  They have been proven correct but are
 * presented here, without proof:
 *
 *  1) in order to "align to 'd'" where 'd' is less than or equal to the
 *     largest level of alignment seen so far ('b'), you align 'c' to
 *     'd'.
 *  2) in order to "align to 'd'" where 'd' is greater than the largest
 *     level of alignment seen so far, you add 'c' aligned to 'b' to the
 *     value of 'a', set 'b' to 'd' (ie: increase the 'largest alignment
 *     seen') and reset 'c' to 0.
 *  3) in order to "add 'e'", just add 'e' to 'c'.
