 * FFmpeg has several applications of memory that are not required of a typical
 * program. For example, the computing-heavy components like video decoding and
 * encoding can be sped up significantly through the use of aligned memory.
 *
 * However, for each of FFmpeg's applications of memory, there might not be a
 * recognized or standardized API for that specific use. Memory alignment, for
 * instance, varies wildly depending on operating systems, architectures, and
 * compilers. Hence, this component of @ref libavutil is created to make
 * dealing with memory consistently possible on all platforms.

 *
 * Utilities to make an array grow when needed.
 *
 * Sometimes, the programmer would want to have an array that can grow when
 * needed. The libavutil dynamic array utilities fill that need.
 *
 * libavutil supports two systems of appending elements onto a dynamically
 * allocated array, the first one storing the pointer to the value in the
 * array, and the second storing the value directly. In both systems, the
 * caller is responsible for maintaining a variable containing the length of
 * the array, as well as freeing of the array after use.
 *
 * The first system stores pointers to values in a block of dynamically
 * allocated memory. Since only pointers are stored, the function does not need
 * to know the size of the type. Both av_dynarray_add() and
 * av_dynarray_add_nofree() implement this system.
 *
 * @code
 * type **array = NULL; //< an array of pointers to values
 * int    nb    = 0;    //< a variable to keep track of the length of the array
 *
 * type to_be_added  = ...;
 * type to_be_added2 = ...;
 *
 * av_dynarray_add(&array, &nb, &to_be_added);
 * if (nb == 0)
 *     return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
 *
 * av_dynarray_add(&array, &nb, &to_be_added2);
 * if (nb == 0)
 *     return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
 *
 * // Now:
 * //  nb           == 2
 * // &to_be_added  == array[0]
 * // &to_be_added2 == array[1]
 *
 * av_freep(&array);
 * @endcode
 *
 * The second system stores the value directly in a block of memory. As a
 * result, the function has to know the size of the type. av_dynarray2_add()
 * implements this mechanism.
 *
 * @code
 * type *array = NULL; //< an array of values
 * int   nb    = 0;    //< a variable to keep track of the length of the array
 *
 * type to_be_added  = ...;
