/* GVariantSerialiser
 *
 * After this prologue section, this file has roughly 2 parts.
 *
 * The first part is split up into sections according to various
 * container types.  Maybe, Array, Tuple, Variant.  The Maybe and Array
 * sections are subdivided for element types being fixed or
 * variable-sized types.
 *
 * Each section documents the format of that particular type of
 * container and implements 5 functions for dealing with it:
 *
 *  n_children:
 *    - determines (according to serialized data) how many child values
 *      are inside a particular container value.
 *
 *  get_child:
 *    - gets the type of and the serialized data corresponding to a
 *      given child value within the container value.
 *
 *  needed_size:
 *    - determines how much space would be required to serialize a
 *      container of this type, containing the given children so that
 *      buffers can be preallocated before serializing.
 *
 *  serialise:
 *    - write the serialized data for a container of this type,
 *      containing the given children, to a buffer.
 *
 *  is_normal:
 *    - check the given data to ensure that it is in normal form.  For a
 *      given set of child values, there is exactly one normal form for
 *      the serialized data of a container.  Other forms are possible
 *      while maintaining the same children (for example, by inserting
 *      something other than zero bytes as padding) but only one form is
 *      the normal form.
 *
 * The second part contains the main entry point for each of the above 5
 * functions and logic to dispatch it to the handler for the appropriate
 * container type code.
 *
 * The second part also contains a routine to byteswap serialized
 * values.  This code makes use of the n_children() and get_child()
 * functions above to do its work so no extra support is needed on a
 * per-container-type basis.
 *
 * There is also additional code for checking for normal form.  All
 * numeric types are always in normal form since the full range of
 * values is permitted (eg: 0 to 255 is a valid byte).  Special checks
 * need to be performed for booleans (only 0 or 1 allowed), strings
 * (properly nul-terminated) and object paths and signature strings
 * (meeting the D-Bus specification requirements).  Depth checks need to be
 * performed for nested types (arrays, tuples, and variants), to avoid massive
 * recursion which could exhaust our stack when handling untrusted input.

/* < private >
 * GVariantSerialised:
 * @type_info: the #GVariantTypeInfo of this value
 * @data: (nullable): the serialized data of this value, or %NULL
 * @size: the size of this value
 *
 * A structure representing a GVariant in serialized form.  This
 * structure is used with #GVariantSerialisedFiller functions and as the
 * primary interface to the serializer.  See #GVariantSerialisedFiller
 * for a description of its use there.
 *
 * When used with the serializer API functions, the following invariants
 * apply to all #GVariantTypeSerialised structures passed to and
 * returned from the serializer.
 *
 * @type_info must be non-%NULL.
 *
 * @data must be properly aligned for the type described by @type_info.
 *
 * If @type_info describes a fixed-sized type then @size must always be
 * equal to the fixed size of that type.
 *
 * For fixed-sized types (and only fixed-sized types), @data may be
 * %NULL even if @size is non-zero.  This happens when a framing error
 * occurs while attempting to extract a fixed-sized value out of a
 * variable-sized container.  There is no data to return for the
 * fixed-sized type, yet @size must be non-zero.  The effect of this
 * combination should be as if @data were a pointer to an
 * appropriately-sized zero-filled region.
 *
 * @depth has no restrictions; the depth of a top-level serialized #GVariant is
 * zero, and it increases for each level of nested child.
 *
 * @checked_offsets_up_to is always ≥ @ordered_offsets_up_to

 * The @data parameter passed back to the function is one of the items

 * of the element type corresponds to the "Just" case; in that case, the

 * that is not equal to the fixed size of the element type then the

/* Variable-sized Array {{{3
 *
 * Variable sized arrays, containing variable-sized elements, must be
 * able to determine the boundaries between the elements.  The items
 * cannot simply be concatenated.  Additionally, we are faced with the
 * fact that non-fixed-sized values do not necessarily have a size that
 * is a multiple of their alignment requirement, so we may need to
 * insert zero-filled padding.
 *
 * While it is possible to find the start of an item by starting from
 * the end of the item before it and padding for alignment, it is not
 * generally possible to do the reverse operation.  For this reason, we
 * record the end point of each element in the array.
 *
 * GVariant works in terms of "offsets".  An offset is a pointer to a
 * boundary between two bytes.  In 4 bytes of serialized data, there
 * would be 5 possible offsets: one at the start ('0'), one between each
 * pair of adjacent bytes ('1', '2', '3') and one at the end ('4').
 *
 * The numeric value of an offset is an unsigned integer given relative
 * to the start of the serialized data of the array.  Offsets are always
 * stored in little endian byte order and are always only as big as they
 * need to be.  For example, in 255 bytes of serialized data, there are
 * 256 offsets.  All possibilities can be stored in an 8 bit unsigned
 * integer.  In 256 bytes of serialized data, however, there are 257
 * possible offsets so 16 bit integers must be used.  The size of an
 * offset is always a power of 2.
 *
 * The offsets are stored at the end of the serialized data of the
 * array.  They are simply concatenated on without any particular
 * alignment.  The size of the offsets is included in the size of the
 * serialized data for purposes of determining the size of the offsets.
 * This presents a possibly ambiguity; in certain cases, a particular
 * value of array could have two different serialized forms.
 *
 * Imagine an array containing a single string of 253 bytes in length
 * (so, 254 bytes including the nul terminator).  Now the offset must be
 * written.  If an 8 bit offset is written, it will bring the size of
 * the array's serialized data to 255 -- which means that the use of an
 * 8 bit offset was valid.  If a 16 bit offset is used then the total
 * size of the array will be 256 -- which means that the use of a 16 bit
 * offset was valid.  Although both of these will be accepted by the
 * deserializer, only the smaller of the two is considered to be in
 * normal form and that is the one that the serializer must produce.

 *
 * Since tuples can contain a mix of variable- and fixed-sized items,
 * they are, in terms of serialization, a hybrid of variable-sized and
 * fixed-sized arrays.
 *
 * Offsets are only stored for variable-sized items.  Also, since the
 * number of items in a tuple is known from its type, we are able to
 * know exactly how many offsets to expect in the serialized data (and
 * therefore how much space is taken up by the offset array).  This
 * means that we know where the end of the serialized data for the last
 * item is -- we can just subtract the size of the offset array from the
 * total size of the tuple.  For this reason, the last item in the tuple
 * doesn't need an offset stored.
 *
 * Tuple offsets are stored in reverse.  This design choice allows
 * iterator-based deserializers to be more efficient.
 *
 * Most of the "heavy lifting" here is handled by the GVariantTypeInfo
 * for the tuple.  See the notes in gvarianttypeinfo.h.
