/*
** upb::Encoder
**
** Since we are implementing pure handlers (ie. without any out-of-band access
** to pre-computed lengths), we have to buffer all submessages before we can
** emit even their first byte.
**
** Not knowing the size of submessages also means we can't write a perfect
** zero-copy implementation, even with buffering.  Lengths are stored as
** varints, which means that we don't know how many bytes to reserve for the
** length until we know what the length is.
**
** This leaves us with three main choices:
**
** 1. buffer all submessage data in a temporary buffer, then copy it exactly
**    once into the output buffer.
**
** 2. attempt to buffer data directly into the output buffer, estimating how
**    many bytes each length will take.  When our guesses are wrong, use
**    memmove() to grow or shrink the allotted space.
**
** 3. buffer directly into the output buffer, allocating a max length
**    ahead-of-time for each submessage length.  If we overallocated, we waste
**    space, but no memcpy() or memmove() is required.  This approach requires
**    defining a maximum size for submessages and rejecting submessages that
**    exceed that size.
**
** (2) and (3) have the potential to have better performance, but they are more
** complicated and subtle to implement:
**
**   (3) requires making an arbitrary choice of the maximum message size; it
**       wastes space when submessages are shorter than this and fails
**       completely when they are longer.  This makes it more finicky and
**       requires configuration based on the input.  It also makes it impossible
**       to perfectly match the output of reference encoders that always use the
**       optimal amount of space for each length.
**
**   (2) requires guessing the the size upfront, and if multiple lengths are
**       guessed wrong the minimum required number of memmove() operations may
**       be complicated to compute correctly.  Implemented properly, it may have
**       a useful amortized or average cost, but more investigation is required
**       to determine this and what the optimal algorithm is to achieve it.
**
**   (1) makes you always pay for exactly one copy, but its implementation is
**       the simplest and its performance is predictable.
**
** So for now, we implement (1) only.  If we wish to optimize later, we should
** be able to do it without affecting users.
**
** The strategy is to buffer the segments of data that do *not* depend on
** unknown lengths in one buffer, and keep a separate buffer of segment pointers
** and lengths.  When the top-level submessage ends, we can go beginning to end,
** alternating the writing of lengths with memcpy() of the rest of the data.
** At the top level though, no buffering is required.

/* The output buffer is divided into segments; a segment is a string of data
 * that is "ready to go" -- it does not need any varint lengths inserted into
 * the middle.  The seams between segments are where varints will be inserted
 * once they are known.
 *
 * We also use the concept of a "run", which is a range of encoded bytes that
 * occur at a single submessage level.  Every segment contains one or more runs.
 *
 * A segment can span messages.  Consider:
 *
 *                  .--Submessage lengths---------.
 *                  |       |                     |
 *                  |       V                     V
 *                  V      | |---------------    | |-----------------
 * Submessages:    | |-----------------------------------------------
 * Top-level msg: ------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Segments:          -----   -------------------   -----------------
 * Runs:              *----   *--------------*---   *----------------
 * (* marks the start)
 *
 * Note that the top-level menssage is not in any segment because it does not
 * have any length preceding it.
 *
 * A segment is only interrupted when another length needs to be inserted.  So
 * observe how the second segment spans both the inner submessage and part of
 * the next enclosing message. */
