+/**
+ * SECTION:arcbox
+ * @Title: Atomically reference counted data
+ * @Short_description: Allocated memory with atomic reference counting semantics
+ *
+ * An "atomically reference counted box", or "ArcBox", is an opaque wrapper
+ * data type that is guaranteed to be as big as the size of a given data type,
+ * and which augments the given data type with thread safe reference counting
+ * semantics for its memory management.
+ *
+ * ArcBox is useful if you have a plain old data type, like a structure
+ * typically placed on the stack, and you wish to provide additional API
+ * to use it on the heap; or if you want to implement a new type to be
+ * passed around by reference without necessarily implementing copy/free
+ * semantics or your own reference counting.
+ *
+ * The typical use is:
+ *
+ * |[
+ * typedef struct {
+ * char *name;
+ * char *address;
+ * char *city;
+ * char *state;
+ * int age;
+ * } Person;
+ *
+ * Person *
+ * person_new (void)
+ * {
+ * return g_atomic_rc_box_new0 (Person);
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * Every time you wish to acquire a reference on the memory, you should
+ * call g_atomic_rc_box_acquire(); similarly, when you wish to release a reference
+ * you should call g_atomic_rc_box_release():
+ *
+ * |[
+ * // Add a Person to the Database; the Database acquires ownership
+ * // of the Person instance
+ * void
+ * add_person_to_database (Database *db, Person *p)
+ * {
+ * db->persons = g_list_prepend (db->persons, g_atomic_rc_box_acquire (p));
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Removes a Person from the Database; the reference acquired by
+ * // add_person_to_database() is released here
+ * void
+ * remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
+ * {
+ * db->persons = g_list_remove (db->persons, p);
+ * g_atomic_rc_box_release (p);
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * If you have additional memory allocated inside the structure, you can
+ * use g_atomic_rc_box_release_full(), which takes a function pointer, which
+ * will be called if the reference released was the last:
+ *
+ * |[
+ * void
+ * person_clear (Person *p)
+ * {
+ * g_free (p->name);
+ * g_free (p->address);
+ * g_free (p->city);
+ * g_free (p->state);
+ * }
+ *
+ * void
+ * remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
+ * {
+ * db->persons = g_list_remove (db->persons, p);
+ * g_atomic_rc_box_release_full (p, (GDestroyNotify) person_clear);
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * If you wish to transfer the ownership of a reference counted data
+ * type without increasing the reference count, you can use g_steal_pointer():
+ *
+ * |[
+ * Person *p = g_atomic_rc_box_new (Person);
+ *
+ * fill_person_details (p);
+ *
+ * add_person_to_database (db, g_steal_pointer (&p));
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * ## Thread safety
+ *
+ * The reference counting operations on data allocated using g_atomic_rc_box_alloc(),
+ * g_atomic_rc_box_new(), and g_atomic_rc_box_dup() are guaranteed to be atomic, and thus
+ * can be safely be performed by different threads. It is important to note that
+ * only the reference acquisition and release are atomic; changes to the content
+ * of the data are your responsibility.
+ *
+ * ## Automatic pointer clean up
+ *
+ * If you want to add g_autoptr() support to your plain old data type through
+ * reference counting, you can use the G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() and
+ * g_atomic_rc_box_release():
+ *
+ * |[
+ * G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, g_atomic_rc_box_release)
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * If you need to clear the contents of the data, you will need to use an
+ * ancillary function that calls g_rc_box_release_full():
+ *
+ * |[
+ * static void
+ * my_data_struct_release (MyDataStruct *data)
+ * {
+ * // my_data_struct_clear() is defined elsewhere
+ * g_atomic_rc_box_release_full (data, (GDestroyNotify) my_data_struct_clear);
+ * }

+ * SECTION:refstring
+ * @Title: Reference counted strings
+ * @Short_description: Strings with reference counted memory management
+ *
+ * Reference counted strings are normal C strings that have been augmented
+ * with a reference counter to manage their resources. You allocate a new
+ * reference counted string and acquire and release references as needed,
+ * instead of copying the string among callers; when the last reference on
+ * the string is released, the resources allocated for it are freed.
+ *
+ * Typically, reference counted strings can be used when parsing data from
+ * files and storing them into data structures that are passed to various
+ * callers:
+ *
+ * |[
+ * PersonDetails *
+ * person_details_from_data (const char *data)
+ * {
+ * // Use g_autoptr() to simplify error cases
+ * g_autoptr(GRefString) full_name = NULL;
+ * g_autoptr(GRefString) address = NULL;
+ * g_autoptr(GRefString) city = NULL;
+ * g_autoptr(GRefString) state = NULL;
+ * g_autoptr(GRefString) zip_code = NULL;
+ *
+ * // parse_person_details() is defined elsewhere; returns refcounted strings
+ * if (!parse_person_details (data, &full_name, &address, &city, &state, &zip_code))
+ * return NULL;
+ *
+ * if (!validate_zip_code (zip_code))
+ * return NULL;
+ *
+ * // add_address_to_cache() and add_full_name_to_cache() are defined
+ * // elsewhere; they add strings to various caches, using refcounted
+ * // strings to avoid copying data over and over again
+ * add_address_to_cache (address, city, state, zip_code);
+ * add_full_name_to_cache (full_name);
+ *
+ * // person_details_new() is defined elsewhere; it takes a reference
+ * // on each string
+ * PersonDetails *res = person_details_new (full_name,
+ * address,
+ * city,
+ * state,
+ * zip_code);
+ *
+ * return res;
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * In the example above, we have multiple functions taking the same strings
+ * for different uses; with typical C strings, we'd have to copy the strings
+ * every time the life time rules of the data differ from the life time of
+ * the string parsed from the original buffer. With reference counted strings,
+ * each caller can take a reference on the data, and keep it as long as it
+ * needs to own the string.
+ *
+ * Reference counted strings can also be "interned" inside a global table
+ * owned by GLib; while an interned string has at least a reference, creating
+ * a new interned reference counted string with the same contents will return
+ * a reference to the existing string instead of creating a new reference
+ * counted string instance. Once the string loses its last reference, it will
+ * be automatically removed from the global interned strings table.
