   4    \brief pkgCache - Structure definitions for the cache file
   5
   6    The goal of the cache file is two fold:
   7    Firstly to speed loading and processing of the package file array and
   8    secondly to reduce memory consumption of the package file array.
   9
  10    The implementation is aimed at an environment with many primary package
  11    files, for instance someone that has a Package file for their CD-ROM, a
  12    Package file for the latest version of the distribution on the CD-ROM and a
  13    package file for the development version. Always present is the information
  14    contained in the status file which might be considered a separate package
  15    file.
  16
  17    Please understand, this is designed as a <b>Cache file</b> it is not meant to be
  18    used on any system other than the one it was created for. It is not meant to
  19    be authoritative either, i.e. if a system crash or software failure occurs it
  20    must be perfectly acceptable for the cache file to be in an inconsistent
  21    state. Furthermore at any time the cache file may be erased without losing
  22    any information.
  23
  24    Also the structures and storage layout is optimized for use by the APT
  25    and may not be suitable for all purposes. However it should be possible
  26    to extend it with associate cache files that contain other information.
  27
  28    To keep memory use down the cache file only contains often used fields and
  29    fields that are inexpensive to store, the Package file has a full list of
  30    fields. Also the client may assume that all items are perfectly valid and
  31    need not perform checks against their correctness. Removal of information
  32    from the cache is possible, but blanks will be left in the file, and
  33    unused strings will also be present. The recommended implementation is to
  34    simply rebuild the cache each time any of the data files change. It is
  35    possible to add a new package file to the cache without any negative side
  36    effects.
  37
  38    <b>Note on Pointer access</b>
  39    Clients should always use the CacheIterators classes for access to the
  40    cache and the data in it. They also provide a simple STL-like method for
  41    traversing the links of the datastructure.
  42
  43    Every item in every structure is stored as the index to that structure.
  44    What this means is that once the files is mmaped every data access has to
  45    go through a fix up stage to get a real memory pointer. This is done
  46    by taking the index, multiplying it by the type size and then adding
  47    it to the start address of the memory block. This sounds complex, but
  48    in C it is a single array dereference. Because all items are aligned to
  49    their size and indexes are stored as multiples of the size of the structure
  50    the format is immediately portable to all possible architectures - BUT the
  51    generated files are -NOT-.
  52
  53    This scheme allows code like this to be written:
  54    <example>
  55      void *Map = mmap(...);
  56      Package *PkgList = (Package *)Map;
  57      Header *Head = (Header *)Map;
  58      char *Strings = (char *)Map;
  59      cout << (Strings + PkgList[Head->HashTable[0]]->Name) << endl;
  60    </example>
  61    Notice the lack of casting or multiplication. The net result is to return
  62    the name of the first package in the first hash bucket, without error
  63    checks.
  64
  65    The generator uses allocation pools to group similarly sized structures in
  66    large blocks to eliminate any alignment overhead. The generator also
  67    assures that no structures overlap and all indexes are unique. Although
  68    at first glance it may seem like there is the potential for two structures
  69    to exist at the same point the generator never allows this to happen.
  70    (See the discussion of free space pools)
