/*
 * General introduction:
 *
 * This API purposely restricts itself to ISO C 90 features.  In particular, no
 * bool, no // comments, no use of the restrict keyword, or anything else,
 * in order to provide maximal portability.
 *
 * Exception: the "inline" keyword is used below in the "constructor"
 * functions. If your compiler doesn't support it, you should either
 * -Dinline='' on your command line, or use the autotools and include a
 * config.h in your extensions.
 *
 * Additional important information:
 *
 * 1. ALL string values in awk_value_t objects need to come from api_malloc().
 * Gawk will handle releasing the storage if necessary.  This is slightly
 * awkward, in that you can't take an awk_value_t that you got from gawk
 * and reuse it directly, even for something that is conceptually pass
 * by value.
 *
 * 2. Due to gawk internals, after using sym_update() to install an array
 * into gawk, you have to retrieve the array cookie from the value
 * passed in to sym_update().  Like so:
 *
 *	new_array = create_array();
 *	val.val_type = AWK_ARRAY;
 *	val.array_cookie = new_array;
 *	sym_update("array", & val);	// install array in the symbol table
 *
 *	new_array = val.array_cookie;	// MUST DO THIS
 *
 *	// fill in new array with lots of subscripts and values
 *
 * Similarly, if installing a new array as a subarray of an existing
 * array, you must add the new array to its parent before adding any
 * elements to it.
 *
 * You must also retrieve the value of the array_cookie after the call
 * to set_element().
 *
 * Thus, the correct way to build an array is to work "top down".
 * Create the array, and immediately install it in gawk's symbol table
 * using sym_update(), or install it as an element in a previously
 * existing array using set_element().
 *
 * Thus the new array must ultimately be rooted in a global symbol. This is
 * necessary before installing any subarrays in it, due to gawk's
 * internal implementation.  Strictly speaking, this is required only
 * for arrays that will have subarrays as elements; however it is
 * a good idea to always do this.  This restriction may be relaxed
 * in a subsequent revision of the API.
