/** \file blender/blenlib/intern/array_store.c
 *  \ingroup bli
 *  \brief Array storage to minimize duplication.
 *
 * This is done by splitting arrays into chunks and using copy-on-write (COW),
 * to de-duplicate chunks,
 * from the users perspective this is an implementation detail.
 *
 *
 * Overview
 * ========
 *
 *
 * Data Structure
 * --------------
 *
 * This diagram is an overview of the structure of a single array-store.
 *
 * \note The only 2 structures here which are referenced externally are the.
 *
 * - BArrayStore: The whole array store.
 * - BArrayState: Represents a single state (array) of data.
 *   These can be add using a reference state, while this could be considered the previous or parent state.
 *   no relationship is kept, so the caller is free to add any state from the same BArrayStore as a reference.
 *
 * <pre>
 * <+> BArrayStore: root data-structure,
 *  |  can store many 'states', which share memory.
 *  |
 *  |  This can store many arrays, however they must share the same 'stride'.
 *  |  Arrays of different types will need to use a new BArrayStore.
 *  |
 *  +- <+> states (Collection of BArrayState's):
 *  |   |  Each represents an array added by the user of this API.
 *  |   |  and references a chunk_list (each state is a chunk_list user).
 *  |   |  Note that the list order has no significance.
 *  |   |
 *  |   +- <+> chunk_list (BChunkList):
 *  |       |  The chunks that make up this state.
 *  |       |  Each state is a chunk_list user,
 *  |       |  avoids duplicating lists when there is no change between states.
 *  |       |
 *  |       +- chunk_refs (List of BChunkRef): Each chunk_ref links to a a BChunk.
 *  |          Each reference is a chunk user,
 *  |          avoids duplicating smaller chunks of memory found in multiple states.
 *  |
 *  +- info (BArrayInfo):
 *  |  Sizes and offsets for this array-store.
 *  |  Also caches some variables for reuse.
 *  |
 *  +- <+> memory (BArrayMemory):
 *      |  Memory pools for storing BArrayStore data.
 *      |
 *      +- chunk_list (Pool of BChunkList):
 *      |  All chunk_lists, (reference counted, used by BArrayState).
 *      |
 *      +- chunk_ref (Pool of BChunkRef):
 *      |  All chunk_refs (link between BChunkList & BChunk).
 *      |
 *      +- chunks (Pool of BChunk):
 *         All chunks, (reference counted, used by BChunkList).
 *         These have their headers hashed for reuse so we can quickly check for duplicates.
 * </pre>
 *
 *
 * De-Duplication
 * --------------
 *
 * When creating a new state, a previous state can be given as a reference,
 * matching chunks from this state are re-used in the new state.
 *
 * First matches at either end of the array are detected.
 * For identical arrays this is all thats needed.
 *
 * De-duplication is performed on any remaining chunks, by hashing the first few bytes of the chunk
 * (see: BCHUNK_HASH_TABLE_ACCUMULATE_STEPS).
 *
 * \note This is cached for reuse since the referenced data never changes.
 *
 * An array is created to store hash values at every 'stride',
 * then stepped over to search for matching chunks.
 *
 * Once a match is found, there is a high chance next chunks match too,
 * so this is checked to avoid performing so many hash-lookups.
 * Otherwise new chunks are created.

 * at positions unaligned with the array data.
 *
 * \param chunk_count: Number of elements to split each chunk into.
 * - A small value increases the ability to de-duplicate chunks,
 *   but adds overhead by increasing the number of chunks to look-up when searching for duplicates,
 *   as well as some overhead constructing the original array again, with more calls to ``memcpy``.
 * - Larger values reduce the *book keeping* overhead,
