// ---------------------------------------------------
// codecgen supports the full cycle of reflection-based codec:
//    - RawExt
//    - Builtins
//    - Extensions
//    - (Binary|Text|JSON)(Unm|M)arshal
//    - generic by-kind
//
// This means that, for dynamic things, we MUST use reflection to at least get the reflect.Type.
// In those areas, we try to only do reflection or interface-conversion when NECESSARY:
//    - Extensions, only if Extensions are configured.
//
// However, codecgen doesn't support the following:
//   - Canonical option. (codecgen IGNORES it currently)
//     This is just because it has not been implemented.
//
// During encode/decode, Selfer takes precedence.
// A type implementing Selfer will know how to encode/decode itself statically.
//
// The following field types are supported:
//     array: [n]T
//     slice: []T
//     map: map[K]V
//     primitive: [u]int[n], float(32|64), bool, string
//     struct
//
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Note that a Selfer cannot call (e|d).(En|De)code on itself,
// as this will cause a circular reference, as (En|De)code will call Selfer methods.
// Any type that implements Selfer must implement completely and not fallback to (En|De)code.
//
// In addition, code in this file manages the generation of fast-path implementations of
// encode/decode of slices/maps of primitive keys/values.
//
// Users MUST re-generate their implementations whenever the code shape changes.
// The generated code will panic if it was generated with a version older than the supporting library.
// ---------------------------------------------------
//
// codec framework is very feature rich.
// When encoding or decoding into an interface, it depends on the runtime type of the interface.
// The type of the interface may be a named type, an extension, etc.
// Consequently, we fallback to runtime codec for encoding/decoding interfaces.
// In addition, we fallback for any value which cannot be guaranteed at runtime.
// This allows us support ANY value, including any named types, specifically those which
// do not implement our interfaces (e.g. Selfer).
//
// This explains some slowness compared to other code generation codecs (e.g. msgp).
// This reduction in speed is only seen when your refers to interfaces,
// e.g. type T struct { A interface{}; B []interface{}; C map[string]interface{} }
//
// codecgen will panic if the file was generated with an old version of the library in use.
//
// Note:
//   It was a concious decision to have gen.go always explicitly call EncodeNil or TryDecodeAsNil.
//   This way, there isn't a function call overhead just to see that we should not enter a block of code.

// GenVersion is the current version of codecgen.
//
// NOTE: Increment this value each time codecgen changes fundamentally.
// Fundamental changes are:
//   - helper methods change (signature change, new ones added, some removed, etc)
//   - codecgen command line changes
//
// v1: Initial Version
// v2:
// v3: Changes for Kubernetes:
//     changes in signature of some unpublished helper methods and codecgen cmdline arguments.
// v4: Removed separator support from (en|de)cDriver, and refactored codec(gen)
// v5: changes to support faster json decoding. Let encoder/decoder maintain state of collections.
