/* Return 1 if an array of N objects, each of size S, cannot exist due
   to size arithmetic overflow.  S must be positive and N must be
   nonnegative.  This is a macro, not an inline function, so that it
   works correctly even when SIZE_MAX < N.

   By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size
   calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is
   SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value.
   However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where
   sizeof(ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof(size_t), so do not bother to test for
   exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and
   branch when S is known to be 1.  */

/*
 * VIR_TYPEMATCH:
 *
 * The following macro seems a bit cryptic, so it needs a thorough
 * explanation. Its purpose is to check for assignment compatibility
 * and identical size between two values without creating any side
 * effects (by doing something silly like actually assigning one to
 * the other). Note that it takes advantage of the C89-guaranteed
 * property of sizeof() - it cannot have any side effects, so anything
 * that happens inside sizeof() will not have any effect at runtime.
 *
 * VIR_TYPEMATCH evaluates to "1" if the two passed values are both
 * assignment-compatible and the same size, and otherwise generates a
 * compile-time error. It determines the result by performing the
 * following three operations:
 *
 *    * sizeof(*(a) = *(b)) assures that *a and *b are
 *      assignment-compatible (they may still have a different size
 *      though! e.g. longVar = intVar) (If not, there is a compile-time
 *      error. If so, the result of that subexpression is sizeof(*(a)),
 *      i.e. one element of the array)
 *
 *    * sizeof(*(a) = *(b)) == sizeof(*(b)) checks if *a and *b are also
 *      of the same size (so that, e.g. you don't accidentally copy an
 *      int plus the random bytes following it into an array of long). It
 *      evaluates to 1 if they are the same, and 0 otherwise.
 *
 *    * sizeof(char[2 * (result of previous step) - 1]) evaluates to 1
 *      if the previous step was successful (char [(2*1) - 1] i.e.
 *      char[1]), or generates a compile error if it wasn't successful
 *      (char[2*0 -1] i.e. char[-1], which isn't valid in C).
 *
 * So VIR_TYPEMATCH(a, b) will either abort the compile with an error,
 * or evaluate to "1", and in the meantime check that we've actually
 * added the correct &'s and/or *'s to the arguments. (Whew!)
