seanhalle@3 15 /*WARNING: Passing a DynArray as a param is dangerous if add to the DynArray
seanhalle@3 16 * inside the function called! After adding or other operation that might
seanhalle@3 17 * change the size, must re-read the addr of the chunk of memory that is the
seanhalle@3 18 * array, via the DynArrayInfo.
seanhalle@3 19 *Here's why: An array variable is a location, either on the stack
seanhalle@3 20 * or in a field of a struct, whose contents is an addr. That addr is of the
seanhalle@3 21 * first location of a chunk of locations. The DynArray works by changing
seanhalle@3 22 * the chunk of locations, then modifying the contents of the original
seanhalle@3 23 * array variable. It overwrites the addr of the old chunk of locations
seanhalle@3 24 * with the addr of the new chunk.
seanhalle@3 25 *But when the array variable is passed as a parameter, such as
seanhalle@3 26 * in this: "foo( myDynArray )", then there are now two locations that hold
seanhalle@3 27 * the addr of the same chunk of locations. So when a call is made that
seanhalle@3 28 * adds to the DynArray, and inside the DynArray expands, it only updates
seanhalle@3 29 * the original location with the new addr. Hence, the function will begin
seanhalle@3 30 * overwriting memory past the end of the old chunk, because it still has
seanhalle@3 31 * the pointer to the old chunk of locations.
seanhalle@3 32 *
seanhalle@3 33 *A dynamic array is accessed same as any other array. However, must use
seanhalle@3 34 * dyn array calls, defined in here, in order to add or increase the size.
seanhalle@3 35 * Must re-read the original array variable after any size-changing calls.
seanhalle@3 36 *To pass a DynArray as a parameter to a function, can only pass the
seanhalle@3 37 * DynArrayInfo, then inside the function, to read the addr of the first
seanhalle@3 38 * location in the chunk of locations that is the array, do this:
seanhalle@3 39 * "localArrayCopy = *(myDynArrayInfo->addrOfPtrToArray). After that, can
seanhalle@3 40 * treat localArrayCopy as a normal array, as long as don't make any calls
seanhalle@3 41 * that add or otherwise could increase the size of the array. If do make
seanhalle@3 42 * such a call, then re-copy the array via the above. Can then use the
seanhalle@3 43 * copy up until another add to the array.
