/**************************************
 * ScopeBuffer encapsulates using a local array as a temporary buffer.
 * It is initialized with the local array that should be large enough for
 * most uses. If the need exceeds the size, ScopeBuffer will resize it
 * using malloc() and friends.
 *
 * ScopeBuffer cannot contain more than (uint.max-16)/2 elements.
 *
 * ScopeBuffer is an OutputRange.
 *
 * Since ScopeBuffer potentially stores elements of type T in malloc'd memory,
 * those elements are not scanned when the GC collects. This can cause
 * memory corruption. Do not use ScopeBuffer when elements of type T point
 * to the GC heap.
 *
 * Example:
---
import core.stdc.stdio;
import std.internal.scopebuffer;
void main()
{
    char[2] buf = void;
    auto textbuf = ScopeBuffer!char(buf);
    scope(exit) textbuf.free(); // necessary for cleanup

    // Put characters and strings into textbuf, verify they got there
    textbuf.put('a');
    textbuf.put('x');
    textbuf.put("abc");
    assert(textbuf.length == 5);
    assert(textbuf[1..3] == "xa");
    assert(textbuf[3] == 'b');

    // Can shrink it
    textbuf.length = 3;
    assert(textbuf[0..textbuf.length] == "axa");
    assert(textbuf[textbuf.length - 1] == 'a');
    assert(textbuf[1..3] == "xa");

    textbuf.put('z');
    assert(textbuf[] == "axaz");

    // Can shrink it to 0 size, and reuse same memory
    textbuf.length = 0;
}
---
 * It is invalid to access ScopeBuffer's contents when ScopeBuffer goes out of scope.
 * Hence, copying the contents are necessary to keep them around:
---
import std.internal.scopebuffer;
string cat(string s1, string s2)
{
    char[10] tmpbuf = void;
    auto textbuf = ScopeBuffer!char(tmpbuf);
    scope(exit) textbuf.free();
    textbuf.put(s1);
    textbuf.put(s2);
    textbuf.put("even more");
    return textbuf[].idup;
}
---
 * ScopeBuffer is intended for high performance usages in $(D @system) and $(D @trusted) code.
 * It is designed to fit into two 64 bit registers, again for high performance use.
 * If used incorrectly, memory leaks and corruption can result. Be sure to use
 * $(D scope(exit) textbuf.free();) for proper cleanup, and do not refer to a ScopeBuffer
 * instance's contents after $(D ScopeBuffer.free()) has been called.
 *
 * The realloc parameter defaults to C's realloc(). Another can be supplied to override it.
 *
 * ScopeBuffer instances may be copied, as in:
---
textbuf = doSomething(textbuf, args);
---
 * which can be very efficent, but these must be regarded as a move rather than a copy.
 * Additionally, the code between passing and returning the instance must not throw
 * exceptions, otherwise when ScopeBuffer.free() is called, memory may get corrupted.
