/* The main goal of this design is fast fetching of the pointer for a handle.
 * For that reason, the handles are stored in a table at the end of the buffer
 * with a fixed address, so that returning the pointer for a handle is a simple
 * table lookup. To reduce the frequency with which allocated blocks will need
 * to be moved to free space, allocations grow up in address from the start of
 * the buffer. The buffer is treated as an array of union buflib_data. Blocks
 * start with a length marker, which is included in their length. Free blocks
 * are marked by negative length. Allocated blocks have a positiv length marker,
 * and additional metadata forllowing that: It follows a pointer
 * (union buflib_data*) to the corresponding handle table entry. so that it can
 * be quickly found and updated during compaction. After that follows
 * the pointer to the struct buflib_callbacks associated with this allocation
 * (may be NULL). That pointer follows a variable length character array
 * containing the nul-terminated string identifier of the allocation. After this
 * array there's a length marker for the length of the character array including
 * this length marker (counted in n*sizeof(union buflib_data)), which allows
 * to find the start of the character array (and therefore the start of the
 * entire block) when only the handle or payload start is known.
 *
 * Example:
 * |<- alloc block #1 ->|<- unalloc block ->|<- alloc block #2      ->|<-handle table->|
 * |L|H|C|cccc|L2|XXXXXX|-L|YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY|L|H|C|cc|L2|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|AAA|
 *
 * L - length marker (negative if block unallocated)
 * H - handle table enry pointer
 * C - pointer to struct buflib_callbacks
 * c - variable sized string identifier
 * L2 - second length marker for string identifier
 * X - actual payload
 * Y - unallocated space
 * 
 * A - pointer to start of payload (first X) in the handle table (may be null)
 *
 * The blocks can be walked by jumping the abs() of the L length marker, i.e.
 * union buflib_data* L;
 * for(L = start; L < end; L += abs(L->val)) { .... }
 *
 * 
 * The allocator functions are passed a context struct so that two allocators
 * can be run, for example, one per core may be used, with convenience wrappers
 * for the single-allocator case that use a predefined context.
