//! Deals with heap allocating (`boxing') types and values.
//!
//! Nameapace(s):
//! API functions/macros start with (or are) `box`. `unbox`, `BOX`, and `UNBOX`.
//! Internal impl. functions/macros start with (or are) `_box`, `_BOX`, `_unbox`, and `_UNBOX`.
//!
//! Provides macros for C and C++:
//! * BOX(T) - Allocate a properly aligned, uninitliased `T*` pointer on the heap.
//! * BOX_EX(T) - Allocate a properly aligned, zero-initialised `T*` pointer on the heap.
//! * BOX_WITH(T, val) - Allocate a properly aligned `T*` pointer on the heap with the value of `val`.
//! * UNBOX(val) - Free the memory of boxed pointer `val`, then return the value itself.
//! * UNBOX_EX(val) - Explicitly zero and then free the memory of boxed pointer `val`, then return the value itself.
//!
//! Provides templates for C++:
//! * T* box<T>() - Same as `BOX(T)`
//! * T* box<T, true>() - Same as `BOX_EX(T)`
//! * T* box<T>(T value) - Same as `BOX_WITH(T, value)`
//! * T unbox(T* value) - Same as `UNBOX(value)`
//! * T unbox<T, true>(T* value) - Same as `UNBOX_EX(value)`
//!
//! # Notes
//! `UNBOX_EX` and `unbox<T, true>` use `explicit_bzero` to blank the memory before free.
//! Whereas `BOX_EX` and `box<T, true>` just use `bzero`.
//!
//! This API is **not** designed to work with C++ classes, constructors, or destructors. It is designed for C types and structs. Constructors and destructors are not called or supported. Only use with C-like (so-called ``POD'') types without con/destructors. No default initialisation is done (besides zero-initialisation when requested).
//! To override this behaviour and use C++ new/delete instead of C malloc/free, you can define the _BOX_CPP preprocessor directive. However, C++ move semantics are not used here at all so using this API with non-POD types will cause lots of useless copy-constructors being called. Do not use this with non-trivially constructable types. Ideally, only ever use C ("POD") types with this.
