@{
This class is used to register callbacks to manipulate an object of a 
complex type. These callbacks are used by dbstl at runtime  to 
manipulate the object.

A complex type is a type whose members are not located in a contiguous 
chunk of memory. For example, the following class A is a complex type 
because for any  instance a of class A, a.b_ points to another object 
of type B, and dbstl treats the  object that a.b_ points to as part of 
the data of the instance a. Hence, if the user needs to store a.b_ into 
a dbstl container, the user needs to register an appropriate callback to 
de-reference and store the object referenced by a.b. Similarly, the 
user also needs to register callbacks to marshall an array as well as 
to count the  number of elements in such an array.

class A { int m; B *p_; };
class B { int n; };

The user also needs to register callbacks for  
i). returning an object¡¯s size in bytes; 
ii). Marshalling and unmarshalling an object;
iii). Copying a complex object and  and assigning an object to another 
object of the same type; 
iv). Element comparison. 
v). Compare two sequences of any type of objects; Measuring the length 
of an object sequence and copy an object sequence.
 
Several elements  located in a contiguous chunk of memory form a sequence. 
An element of a sequence may be a simple object located at a contigous 
memory chunk, or a complex object, i.e. some of its members may contain 
references (pointers) to another region of memory. It is not necessary 
to store a special object to denote the end of the sequence.  The callback 
to traverse the constituent elements of the sequence needs to able to 
determine the end of the sequence.

Marshalling means packing the object's data members into a contiguous 
chunk of memory; unmarshalling is the opposite of marshalling. In other 
words, when you unmarshall an object, its data members are populated 
with values from a previously marshalled version of the object.

The callbacks need not be set to every type explicitly.  . dbstl will 
check if a needed callback function of this type is provided. 
If one is available, dbstl will use the registered callback.  If the 
appropriate callback is not provided, dbstl will use reasonable defaults 
to do the job.

For returning the size of an object,  the default behavior is to use the 
sizeof() operator;  For marshalling and unmarshalling, dbstl uses memcpy, 
so the default behavior is  sufficient for simple types whose data reside 
in a contiguous  chunk of memory; Dbstl uses  uses >, == and < for 
comparison operations; For char* and wchar_t * strings, dbstl already 
provides the appropriate callbacks, so you do not need to register them. 
In general, if the default behavior is adequate, you don't need to 
register the corresponding callback.

If you have registered proper callbacks, the DbstlElemTraits<T> can also be
used as the char_traits<T> class for std::basic_string<T, char_traits<T> >,
and you can enable your class T to form a basic_string<T, DbstlElemTraits<T>>,
and use basic_string's functionality and the algorithms to manipulate it.

@{
You can persist all bytes in a chunk of contiguous memory by constructing 
an DbstlDbt object A(use malloc to allocate the required number of bytes for 
A.data and copy the bytes to be stored into A.data, set other 
fields as necessary) and store A into a container, e.g. db_vector<DbstlDbt>, 
this stores the bytes rather than the object A into the underlying database.
The DbstlDbt class can help you avoid memory leaks, 
so it is strongly recommended that you use DbstlDbt rather than Dbt class.

DbstlDbt derives from Dbt class, and it does an deep copy on copy construction 
and assignment --by calling malloc to allocate its own memory and then 
copying the bytes to it; Conversely the destructor will free the memory on 
destruction if the data pointer is non-NULL. The destructor assumes the 
memory is allocated via malloc, hence why you are required to call 
malloc to allocate memory in order to use DbstlDbt. 

DbstlDbt simply inherits all methods from Dbt with no extra 
new methods except the constructors/destructor and assignment operator, so it 
is easy to use. 

In practice you rarely need to use DbstlDbt 
or Dbt because dbstl enables you to store any complex 
objects or primitive data. Only when you need to store raw bytes, 
e.g. a bitmap, do you need to use DbstlDbt. 

Hence, DbstlDbt is the right class to 
use to store any object into Berkeley DB via dbstl without memory leaks.

Don't free the memory referenced by DbstlDbt objects, it will be freed when the
DbstlDbt object is destructed.

Please refer to the two examples using DbstlDbt in 
TestAssoc::test_arbitrary_object_storage and
TestAssoc::test_char_star_string_storage member functions, 
which illustrate how to correctly use DbstlDbt in order to store raw bytes.

This class handles the task of allocating and de-allocating memory internally. 
Although it can be used to store data which cannot be handled by the 
DbstlElemTraits 
class, in practice, it is usually more convenient to register callbacks in the 
DbstlElemTraits class for the type you are storing/retrieving using dbstl.
