Detailed Description

CLIB vectors are ubiquitous dynamically resized arrays with by user defined "headers".

Many CLIB data structures (e.g. hash, heap, pool) are vectors with various different headers.

The memory layout looks like this:

                 user header (aligned to uword boundary)
                 vector length: number of elements
user's pointer-> vector element #0
                 vector element #1
                 ...

The user pointer contains the address of vector element # 0. Null pointer vectors are valid and mean a zero length vector.

You can reset the length of an allocated vector to zero via the vec_reset_length(v) macro, or by setting the vector length field to zero (e.g. _vec_len (v) = 0). Vec_reset_length(v) preferred: it understands Null pointers.

Typically, the header is not present. Headers allow for other data structures to be built atop CLIB vectors.

Users may specify the alignment for first data element of a vector via the vec_*_aligned macros.

Vector elements can be any C type e.g. (int, double, struct bar). This is also true for data types built atop vectors (e.g. heap, pool, etc.).

Many macros have _a variants supporting alignment of vector elements and _h variants supporting non-zero-length vector headers. The _ha variants support both. Additionally cacheline alignment within a vector element structure can be specified using the CLIB_CACHE_LINE_ALIGN_MARK() macro.

Standard programming error: memorize a pointer to the ith element of a vector then expand it. Vectors expand by 3/2, so such code may appear to work for a period of time. Memorize vector indices which are invariant.
