// A `FixedArray<T>` represents a non-resizable array of `T` where the length of
// the array can be determined at run-time. It is a good replacement for
// non-standard and deprecated uses of `alloca()` and variable length arrays
// within the GCC extension. (See
// https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Variable-Length.html).
//
// `FixedArray` allocates small arrays inline, keeping performance fast by
// avoiding heap operations. It also helps reduce the chances of
// accidentally overflowing your stack if large input is passed to
// your function.

// A `FixedArray` provides a run-time fixed-size array, allocating a small array
// inline for efficiency.
//
// Most users should not specify an `inline_elements` argument and let
// `FixedArray` automatically determine the number of elements
// to store inline based on `sizeof(T)`. If `inline_elements` is specified, the
// `FixedArray` implementation will use inline storage for arrays with a
// length <= `inline_elements`.
//
// Note that a `FixedArray` constructed with a `size_type` argument will
// default-initialize its values by leaving trivially constructible types
// uninitialized (e.g. int, int[4], double), and others default-constructed.
// This matches the behavior of c-style arrays and `std::array`, but not
// `std::vector`.
//
// Note that `FixedArray` does not provide a public allocator; if it requires a
// heap allocation, it will do so with global `::operator new[]()` and
// `::operator delete[]()`, even if T provides class-scope overrides for these
// operators.
