/**
* RefStruct is an API for creating reference-counted objects
* with minimal overhead. The API is designed for objects,
* not buffers like the AVBuffer API. The main differences
* to the AVBuffer API are as follows:
*
* - It uses void* instead of uint8_t* as its base type due to
* its focus on objects.
* - There are no equivalents of AVBuffer and AVBufferRef.
* E.g. there is no way to get the usable size of the object:
* The user is supposed to know what is at the other end of
* the pointer. It also avoids one level of indirection.
* - Custom allocators are not supported. This allows to simplify
* the implementation and reduce the amount of allocations.
* - It also has the advantage that the user's free callback need
* only free the resources owned by the object, but not the
* object itself.
* - Because referencing (and replacing) an object managed by the
* RefStruct API does not involve allocations, they can not fail
* and therefore need not be checked.
*
* @note Referencing and unreferencing the buffers is thread-safe and thus
* may be done from multiple threads simultaneously without any need for
* additional locking.

* a wrapper around the foo_c function; "_c" means "(potentially) const".

* FFRefStructPool is an API for a thread-safe pool of objects managed

*
* Frequently allocating and freeing large or complicated objects may be slow
* and wasteful. This API is meant to solve this in cases when the caller
* needs a set of interchangable objects.
*
* At the beginning, the user must call allocate the pool via
* ff_refstruct_pool_alloc() or its analogue ff_refstruct_pool_alloc_ext().
* Then whenever an object is needed, call ff_refstruct_pool_get() to
* get a new or reused object from the pool. This new object works in all
* aspects the same way as the ones created by ff_refstruct_alloc_ext().
* However, when the last reference to this object is unreferenced, it is
* (optionally) reset and returned to the pool instead of being freed and
* will be reused for subsequent ff_refstruct_pool_get() calls.
*
* When the caller is done with the pool and no longer needs to create any new
* objects, ff_refstruct_pool_uninit() must be called to mark the pool as
* freeable. Then entries returned to the pool will then be freed.
* Once all the entries are freed, the pool will automatically be freed.
*
* Allocating and releasing objects with this API is thread-safe as long as
* the user-supplied callbacks (if provided) are thread-safe.
