 *\brief Memory menager for PaddleTensor.
 *
 *The PaddleBuf holds a buffer for data input or output. The memory can be
 *allocated by user or by PaddleBuf itself, but in any case, the PaddleBuf
 *should be reused for better performance.
 *
 *For user allocated memory, the following API can be used:
 *- PaddleBuf(void* data, size_t length) to set an external memory by
 *specifying
 *  the memory address and length.
 *- Reset(void* data, size_t length) to reset the PaddleBuf with an external
 *memory.
 *ATTENTION, for user allocated memory, deallocation should be done by users
 *externally after the program finished. The PaddleBuf won't do any allocation
 *or deallocation.
 *
 *To have the PaddleBuf allocate and manage the memory:
 *- PaddleBuf(size_t length) will allocate a memory of size `length`.
 *- Resize(size_t length) resize the memory to no less than `length`, ATTENTION
 *  if the allocated memory is larger than `length`, nothing will done.
