    This class provides access to any memory in the system. Its main purpose

    is to provide a baseclass for objects referencing structured external data.

    Normally, instances are created by primitive code which wants to pass C-data

    to Smalltalk AND grants smalltalk access to individual bytes afterwards.

    Primitives which do not want to grant this access should return instances of

    ExternalAddress. See more info there. Also, have a look at ExternalFunction

    which is another similar class, but specialized to represent callable C-functions.

    Since the memory address of an instance stays fixed (once allocated),

    it can also be used to share data with external C-parts

    (which are not prepared for objects to change their address).

    Use with great care - access is not always checked for out-of-bounds

    or valid addresses.

    Since the data is allocated outside the garbage collected smalltalk space,

    its address stays fix. Thus, it can be passed to external C-functions without

    any danger. However, you have to take care for freeing the memory yourself.

    To help in avoiding memory bugs, instances created with #new: are

    registered in a local classvar and deregistered when the underlying memory

    is explicitely freed. Since a life reference (from that classvar) exists,

    the garbage collector will never find these to be reclaimable, and the

    underlying memory stays allocated (at a fix address) forever.

    To release the memory, either #free it or #unprotect it.

    The first will immediately release the memory, while the second will delay

    freeing until the next garbage collect occurs.

    If you need memory which is automatically freed, create

    the instance via #unprotectedNew: right away; the underlying malloced-memory

    will be released as soon as no smalltalk reference to the ExtBytes object

    exists any more (however, you have to know for sure, that no C-references

    exist to this memory).

    To release all memory call #releaseAllMemory which simply sets the

    AllocatedInstances class variable to nil (thus releasing those refs).

    Example (automatic freeing as soon as ref to buffer is gone):

	|buffer|

	buffer := ExternalBytes unprotectedNew:100.

	...

    Example (manual freeing - never freed, if ref to buffer is gone):

	|buffer|

	buffer := ExternalBytes new:100.

	...

	buffer free

    Example (delayed automatic freeing as soon as ref to buffer is gone):

	|buffer|

	buffer := ExternalBytes new:100.

	...

	buffer unregister

    This class only supports unstructured external data

    - see the companion class ExternalStructure for more.

    Notice: support for external data is still being developed -

	    a parser for C structure syntax and typedefs is on the way,

	    making shared data with C programs much easier in the future.

    Also notice, that this class may not be available or behave different

    in other smalltalk systems, making code using it very unportable.

    It is provided for C interfacing only.

    Finally note, that ST/X's memory system is much faster than malloc/free

    in the normal case - especially for short term temporary objects,

    automatically reclaimed object memory is about 5-10 times faster than

    malloc/free.

    Things may be different for huge byte-valued objects, which are to be

    reclaimed by the oldspace colletor.

    Anyway, for portability, we strongly warn from using this as a substitute

    for byteArrays; it is meant for shared data with external C-functions ONLY.

    Debugging:

	since all manual memory systems are subject of obscure errors,

	you may want to turn malloc-tracing on; this traces all allocations/frees

	done here. To do this, evaluate: 'ExternalBytes mallocTrace:true'.

	In addition, you may turn on full debugging (with 'ExternalBytes mallocDebug:true');

	if turned on, all malloc/realloc requests are remembered and later free / realloc

	requests validated against this list (i.e. to detect freeing unallocated chunks).

	To benefit from this in C-code, we recommend you use __stx_malloc() / __stx_free()

	instead of malloc() / free(). To do so, redefine them in a header file (or cc comand line)

	and recompile your external c-libraries with this.

	I used this here to find memory leaks in the Xt libraries (there are still some in

	the HTML widget ...). If mallocDebug is on, #dumpMallocChunks will print out what is

	leftOver. This may help to find trouble spots in your C-code.

examples

    These examples below are not directly executable;

    some require primitive code to be compiled, or are simply given as sceletton.

    Notice, that in C, indexing is 0-based, while in Smalltalk, indices start

    at 1.

    allocating memory in ST, passing it to C:

      in smalltalk:

	...

	bytes := ExternalBytes new:100.

	...

      in C (assuming that the bytes-object has been passed):

	...

	char *bytePtr;

	bytePtr = (char *)(__externalBytesAddress(bytes));

	if (bytePtr) {

	    ... do something with bytes at bytePtr ...

	}

      freeing (in ST):

	...

	bytes free.

	...

    allocating memory in C, passing it to ST:

      in C:

	...

	char *bytePtr;

	bytePtr = (char *)(malloc(100));

	...

	RETURN (__MKEXTERNALBYTES(bytePtr));

      in Smalltalk (extracting bytes, integers or strings):

	byteVal := bytes byteAt:1.

	...

	intVal := bytes doubleWordAt:1 MSB:true.

	...

	string := bytes stringAt:20.

	...
