// These templates define the fundamental data buffer classes used by the
// OpenVPN core.  Normally OpenVPN uses buffers of unsigned chars, but the
// templatization of the classes would allow buffers of other types to
// be defined.
//
// Fundamentally a buffer is an object with 4 fields:
//
// 1. a pointer to underlying data array
// 2. the capacity of the underlying data array
// 3. an offset into the data array
// 4. the size of the referenced data within the array
//
// The BufferType template is the lowest-level buffer class template.  It refers
// to a buffer but without any notion of ownership of the underlying data.
//
// The BufferAllocatedType template is a higher-level template that inherits
// from BufferType but which asserts ownership over the resources of the buffer --
// for example, it will free the underlying buffer in its destructor.
//
// Since most of the time, we want our buffers to be made out of unsigned chars,
// some typedefs at the end of the file define common instantations for the
// BufferType and BufferAllocatedType templates.
//
// Buffer            : a simple buffer of unsigned char without ownership semantics
// ConstBuffer       : like buffer but where the data pointed to by the buffer is read-only
// BufferAllocated   : an allocated Buffer with ownership semantics
// BufferPtr         : a smart, reference-counted pointer to a BufferAllocatedRc

/**
    @brief report various types of exceptions or errors that may occur when working with buffers
    @details defines a C++ class called BufferException which is derived from the standard
    std::exception class. The purpose of this class is to provide a way to handle and report
    various types of exceptions or errors that may occur when working with buffers (data
    containers) in the OpenVPN application.

    The BufferException class does not take any direct input. Instead, it is designed to be
    instantiated and thrown (raised) when certain exceptional conditions arise during buffer
    operations. The class defines an enumeration Status that lists various types of buffer-related
    exceptions, such as buffer_full, buffer_underflow, buffer_overflow, buffer_offset, and others.

    When a BufferException is thrown, it can be caught and handled by the calling code. The output
    produced by this class is an error message that describes the specific type of exception that
    occurred. This error message can be obtained by calling the what() member function, which
    returns a C-style string (const char*) containing the error description.

    The class achieves its purpose through the following logic and algorithm:

    The BufferException class has two constructors: one that takes only a Status value, and another
    that takes both a Status value and an additional error message string. The what() member
    function is overridden from the base std::exception class. It returns the error message
    associated with the exception. If an additional error message string was provided during
    construction, the what() function returns a combination of the status string (e.g.,
    "buffer_full") and the additional message. If no additional message was provided, the what()
    function returns only the status string. The status_string() private static member function
    is used to convert the Status enumeration value to a corresponding string representation
    (e.g., "buffer_full" for buffer_full).

    The important logic flow in this code is the conversion of the Status enumeration value to
    a human-readable string representation, which is then used to construct the error message
    returned by the what() function. This error message can be used by the calling code to
    understand the nature of the exception and take appropriate action.

    It's important to note that this code does not handle any data transformations or perform
    any complex algorithms. Its sole purpose is to provide a mechanism for reporting and
    handling buffer-related exceptions in a consistent and descriptive manner.

   @brief Immutable buffer with double ended access and adjustable free space at both ends.
   @details This template implements a buffer with double ended access and adjustable free space at
            both ends. It's generalized for type \p T but is only really fully functional with
            various types that can represent strings, as it does have string interoperation helpers.
            It is particularly useful for use as a building block in implementing protocols such
            as wire protocols for a network.
