// ---------------------------------------------------
// codecgen supports the full cycle of reflection-based codec:
//    - RawExt
//    - Raw
//    - Extensions
//    - (Binary|Text|JSON)(Unm|M)arshal
//    - generic by-kind
//
// This means that, for dynamic things, we MUST use reflection to at least get the reflect.Type.
// In those areas, we try to only do reflection or interface-conversion when NECESSARY:
//    - Extensions, only if Extensions are configured.
//
// However, note following codecgen caveats:
//   - Canonical option.
//     If Canonical=true, codecgen'ed code may delegate encoding maps to reflection-based code.
//     This is due to the runtime work needed to marshal a map in canonical mode.
//     However, if map key is a pre-defined/builtin numeric or string type, codecgen
//     will try to write it out itself
//   - CheckCircularRef option.
//     When encoding a struct, a circular reference can lead to a stack overflow.
//     If CheckCircularRef=true, codecgen'ed code will delegate encoding structs to reflection-based code.
//   - MissingFielder implementation.
//     If a type implements MissingFielder, a Selfer is not generated (with a warning message).
//     Statically reproducing the runtime work needed to extract the missing fields and marshal them
//     along with the struct fields, while handling the Canonical=true special case, was onerous to implement.
//
// During encode/decode, Selfer takes precedence.
// A type implementing Selfer will know how to encode/decode itself statically.
//
// The following field types are supported:
//     array: [n]T
//     slice: []T
//     map: map[K]V
//     primitive: [u]int[n], float(32|64), bool, string
//     struct
//
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Note that a Selfer cannot call (e|d).(En|De)code on itself,
// as this will cause a circular reference, as (En|De)code will call Selfer methods.
// Any type that implements Selfer must implement completely and not fallback to (En|De)code.
//
// In addition, code in this file manages the generation of fast-path implementations of
// encode/decode of slices/maps of primitive keys/values.
//
// Users MUST re-generate their implementations whenever the code shape changes.
// The generated code will panic if it was generated with a version older than the supporting library.
// ---------------------------------------------------
//
// codec framework is very feature rich.
// When encoding or decoding into an interface, it depends on the runtime type of the interface.
// The type of the interface may be a named type, an extension, etc.
// Consequently, we fallback to runtime codec for encoding/decoding interfaces.
// In addition, we fallback for any value which cannot be guaranteed at runtime.
// This allows us support ANY value, including any named types, specifically those which
// do not implement our interfaces (e.g. Selfer).
//
// This explains some slowness compared to other code generation codecs (e.g. msgp).
// This reduction in speed is only seen when your refers to interfaces,
// e.g. type T struct { A interface{}; B []interface{}; C map[string]interface{} }
//
// codecgen will panic if the file was generated with an old version of the library in use.
//
// Note:
//   It was a conscious decision to have gen.go always explicitly call EncodeNil or TryDecodeAsNil.
//   This way, there isn't a function call overhead just to see that we should not enter a block of code.
//
// Note:
//   codecgen-generated code depends on the variables defined by fast-path.generated.go.
//   consequently, you cannot run with tags "codecgen codec.notfastpath".
//
// Note:
//   genInternalXXX functions are used for generating fast-path and other internally generated
//   files, and not for use in codecgen.

// Size of a struct or value is not portable across machines, especially across 32-bit vs 64-bit
// operating systems. This is due to types like int, uintptr, pointers, (and derived types like slice), etc
// which use the natural word size on those machines, which may be 4 bytes (on 32-bit) or 8 bytes (on 64-bit).
//
// Within decInferLen calls, we may generate an explicit size of the entry.
// We do this because decInferLen values are expected to be approximate,
// and serve as a good hint on the size of the elements or key+value entry.
//
// Since development is done on 64-bit machines, the sizes will be roughly correctly
// on 64-bit OS, and slightly larger than expected on 32-bit OS.
// This is ok.
//
// For reference, look for 'Size' in fast-path.go.tmpl, gen-dec-(array|map).go.tmpl and gen.go (this file).

// GenVersion is the current version of codecgen.
//
// MARKER: Increment this value each time codecgen changes fundamentally.
// Also update codecgen/gen.go (minimumCodecVersion, genVersion, etc).
// Fundamental changes are:
//   - helper methods change (signature change, new ones added, some removed, etc)
//   - codecgen command line changes
//
// v1: Initial Version
// v2: -
// v3: For Kubernetes: changes in signature of some unpublished helper methods and codecgen cmdline arguments.
// v4: Removed separator support from (en|de)cDriver, and refactored codec(gen)
// v5: changes to support faster json decoding. Let encoder/decoder maintain state of collections.
// v6: removed unsafe from gen, and now uses codecgen.exec tag
// v7: -
// v8: current - we now maintain compatibility with old generated code.
// v9: - skipped
// v10: modified encDriver and decDriver interfaces.
// v11: remove deprecated methods of encDriver and decDriver.
// v12: removed deprecated methods from genHelper and changed container tracking logic
// v13: 20190603 removed DecodeString - use DecodeStringAsBytes instead
// v14: 20190611 refactored nil handling: TryDecodeAsNil -> selective TryNil, etc
// v15: 20190626 encDriver.EncodeString handles StringToRaw flag inside handle
// v16: 20190629 refactoring for v1.1.6
// v17: 20200911 reduce number of types for which we generate fast path functions (v1.1.8)
// v18: 20201004 changed definition of genHelper...Extension (to take interface{}) and eliminated I2Rtid method
// v19: 20201115 updated codecgen cmdline flags and optimized output
// v20: 20201120 refactored GenHelper to one exported function
// v21: 20210104 refactored generated code to honor ZeroCopy=true for more efficiency
// v22: 20210118 fixed issue in generated code when encoding a type which is also a codec.Selfer
// v23: 20210203 changed slice/map types for which we generate fast-path functions
// v24: 20210226 robust handling for Canonical|CheckCircularRef flags and MissingFielder implementations
// v25: 20210406 pass base reflect.Type to side(En|De)code and (En|De)codeExt calls
// v26: 20230201 genHelper changes for more inlining and consequent performance
// v27: 20230219 fix error decoding struct from array - due to misplaced counter increment
// v28: 20230224  fix decoding missing fields of struct from array, due to double counter increment
