/*============================================================
**
** Purpose: Unsafe code that uses pointers should use
** SafeBuffer to fix subtle lifetime problems with the
** underlying resource.
**
===========================================================*/
 
// Design points:
// *) Avoid handle-recycling problems (including ones triggered via
// resurrection attacks) for all accesses via pointers.  This requires tying
// together the lifetime of the unmanaged resource with the code that reads
// from that resource, in a package that uses synchronization to enforce
// the correct semantics during finalization.  We're using SafeHandle's
// ref count as a gate on whether the pointer can be dereferenced because that
// controls the lifetime of the resource.
//
// *) Keep the penalties for using this class small, both in terms of space
// and time.  Having multiple threads reading from a memory mapped file
// will already require 2 additional interlocked operations.  If we add in
// a "current position" concept, that requires additional space in memory and
// synchronization.  Since the position in memory is often (but not always)
// something that can be stored on the stack, we can save some memory by
// excluding it from this object.  However, avoiding the need for
// synchronization is a more significant win.  This design allows multiple
// threads to read and write memory simultaneously without locks (as long as
// you don't write to a region of memory that overlaps with what another
// thread is accessing).
//
// *) Space-wise, we use the following memory, including SafeHandle's fields:
// Object Header  MT*  handle  int bool bool <2 pad bytes> length
// On 32 bit platforms: 24 bytes.  On 64 bit platforms: 40 bytes.
// (We can safe 4 bytes on x86 only by shrinking SafeHandle)
//
// *) Wrapping a SafeHandle would have been a nice solution, but without an
// ordering between critical finalizable objects, it would have required
// changes to each SafeHandle subclass to opt in to being usable from a
// SafeBuffer (or some clever exposure of SafeHandle's state fields and a
// way of forcing ReleaseHandle to run even after the SafeHandle has been
// finalized with a ref count > 1).  We can use less memory and create fewer
// objects by simply inserting a SafeBuffer into the class hierarchy.
//
// *) In an ideal world, we could get marshaling support for SafeBuffer that
// would allow us to annotate a P/Invoke declaration, saying this parameter
// specifies the length of the buffer, and the units of that length are X.
// P/Invoke would then pass that size parameter to SafeBuffer.
//     [DllImport(...)]
//     static extern SafeMemoryHandle AllocCharBuffer(int numChars);
// If we could put an attribute on the SafeMemoryHandle saying numChars is
// the element length, and it must be multiplied by 2 to get to the byte
// length, we can simplify the usage model for SafeBuffer.
//
// *) This class could benefit from a constraint saying T is a value type
// containing no GC references.
 
// Implementation notes:
// *) The Initialize method must be called before you use any instance of
// a SafeBuffer.  To avoid race conditions when storing SafeBuffers in statics,
// you either need to take a lock when publishing the SafeBuffer, or you
// need to create a local, initialize the SafeBuffer, then assign to the
// static variable (perhaps using Interlocked.CompareExchange).  Of course,
// assignments in a static class constructor are under a lock implicitly.
