/*
 * Helper macros to deal with the common use case of growing an array.
 *
 * The common setup is that 'array' is a pointer to the first element
 * of a dynamic array of some type, and 'size' represents the current
 * allocated size of that array (in elements). Both of those macro
 * parameters are implicitly written back to.
 *
 * Then sgrowarray(array, size, n) means: make sure the nth element of
 * the array exists (i.e. the size is at least n+1). You call that
 * before writing to the nth element, if you're looping round
 * appending to the array.
 *
 * If you need to grow the array by more than one element, you can
 * instead call sgrowarrayn(array, size, n, m), which will ensure the
 * size of the array is at least n+m. (So sgrowarray is just the
 * special case of that in which m == 1.)
 *
 * It's common to call sgrowarrayn with one of n,m equal to the
 * previous logical length of the array, and the other equal to the
 * new number of logical entries you want to add, so that n <= size on
 * entry. But that's not actually a mandatory precondition: the two
 * length parameters are just arbitrary integers that get added
 * together with an initial check for overflow, and the semantics are
 * simply 'make sure the array is big enough to take their sum, no
 * matter how big it was to start with'.)
 *
 * Another occasionally useful idiom is to call sgrowarray with n ==
 * size, i.e. sgrowarray(array, size, size). That just means: make
 * array bigger by _some_ amount, I don't particularly mind how much.
 * You might use that style if you were repeatedly calling an API
 * function outside your control, which would either fill your buffer
 * and return success, or else return a 'too big' error without
 * telling you how much bigger it needed to be.
 *
 * The _nm variants of the macro set the 'private' flag in the
 * underlying function, which forces array resizes to be done by a
 * manual allocate/copy/free instead of realloc, with careful clearing
 * of the previous memory block before we free it. This costs
 * performance, but if the block contains important secrets such as
 * private keys or passwords, it avoids the risk that a realloc that
 * moves the memory block might leave a copy of the data visible in
 * the freed memory at the previous location.
