/**
 * @page eina_array_01_example_page Basic array usage
 * @dontinclude eina_array_01.c
 *
 * For this example we add stdlib.h, stdio.h and string.h for some
 * convenience functions. The first thing to do to be able to use an
 * @ref Eina_Array is to include Eina.h:
 * @skip #include
 * @until Eina.h
 *
 * Here we have a callback that prints the element given to it:
 * @until }
 *
 * Now we create our entry point and declare some variables, nothing especial:
 * @until unsigned
 *
 * Before we can start using any array function we need to initialize eina:
 * @until eina_init
 *
 * So now to actually creating our array. The only interesting thing here is the
 * argument given to the eina_array_new() function, this argument sets how fast
 * the array grows.
 * @until array_new
 *
 * If you know before hand how big the array will need to be you should set the
 * step to that. In our case we can set it to the number of string we have and
 * since we didn't do that in the eina_array_new() we can do it now:
 * @until array_step_set
 *
 * Now let us populate our array with some strings:
 * @until push
 * @note Notice we use strdup, so we will have to free that memory later on.
 *
 * Now lets check the size of the array:
 * @until printf
 *
 * And now we call a function on every member of our array to print it:
 * @until foreach
 *
 * One of the strengths of @ref Eina_Array over @ref Eina_List is that it has
 * very fast random access to elements, so this is very efficient:
 * @until printf
 *
 * And now we free up the memory allocated with the strdup()s:
 * @until free
 *
 * And the array memory itself:
 * @until array_free
 *
 * And finally shutdown eina and exit:
 * @until }
 *
 * The full source code can be found on the examples folder
 * on the @ref eina_array_01_c "eina_array_01.c" file.

/**
 * @page eina_array_02_example_page Removing array elements
 * @dontinclude eina_array_02.c
 *
 * Just the usual includes:
 * @skip #include
 * @until Eina.h
 *
 * This the callback we are going to use to decide which strings stay on the
 * array and which will be removed, we use something simple, but this can be as
 * complex as you like:
 * @until }
 *
 * This is the same code we used before to populate the list with the slight
 * difference of not using strdup:
 * @until array_push
 *
 * So we have added all our elements to the array, but it turns out that is not
 * the elements we wanted, so let's empty the array and add the correct strings:
 * @until array_push
 *
 * It seems we made a little mistake in one of our strings so we need to replace
 * it, here is how:
 * @until data_set
 *
 * Now that there is a populated array we can remove elements from it easily:
 * @until array_remove
 *
 * And check that the elements were actually removed:
 * @until printf
 *
 * Since this time we didn't use strdup we don't need to free each string:
 * @until }
 *
 * The full source code can be found on the examples folder
 * on the @ref eina_array_02_c "eina_array_02.c" file.

/**
 * @addtogroup Eina_Array_Group Array
 *
 * @brief These functions provide array management.
 *
 * The Array data type in Eina is designed to have very fast access to
 * its data (compared to the Eina @ref Eina_List_Group). On the other hand,
 * data can be added or removed only at the end of the array. To insert
 * data at any place, the Eina @ref Eina_List_Group is the correct container
 * to use.
 *
 * To use the array data type, eina_init() must be called before any
 * other array functions. When no more eina array functions are used,
 * eina_shutdown() must be called to free all the resources.
 *
 * An array must be created with eina_array_new(). It allocates all
 * the necessary data for an array. When not needed anymore, an array
 * is freed with eina_array_free(). This function does not free any
 * allocated memory used to store the data of each element. For that,
 * just iterate over the array to free them. A convenient way to do
 * that is by using #EINA_ARRAY_ITER_NEXT. An example of code is given
 * in the description of this macro.
 *
 * @warning Functions do not check if the used array is valid or not. It's up to
 * the user to be sure of that. It is designed like that for performance
 * reasons.
 *
 * The usual features of an array are classic ones: to append an
 * element, use eina_array_push() and to remove the last element, use
 * eina_array_pop(). To retrieve the element at a given position, use
 * eina_array_data_get(). The number of elements can be retrieved with
 * eina_array_count().
 *
 * Eina_Array is different from a conventional C array in a number of ways, most
 * importantly they grow and shrink dynamically, this means that if you add an
 * element to a full array it grows and that when you remove an element from an
 * array it @b may shrink.
 *
 * When the array needs to grow it allocates memory not just for the element
 * currently being added since that would mean allocating memory(which is
 * computationally expensive) often, instead it grows to be able to hold @p step
 * more elements. Similarly if you remove elements in such a way that that the
 * array is left holding its capacity - @p step elements it will shrink.
 *
 * The following image illustrates how an Eina_Array grows:
 *
 * @image html eina_array-growth.png
 * @image latex eina_array-growth.eps width=\textwidth
 *
 * Eina_Array only stores pointers but it can store data of any type in the form
 * of void pointers.
 *
 * See here some examples:
 * @li @ref eina_array_01_example_page
 * @li @ref eina_array_02_example_page
