+
+ The macros are defined in 3 layers:
+
+ _In_\_Out_ Layer:
+ ----------------
+ This layer provides the highest abstraction and its macros should be used
+ in most cases. Its macros start with _In_, _Out_ or _Inout_. For the
+ typical case they provide the most concise annotations.
+
+ _Pre_\_Post_ Layer:
+ ------------------
+ The macros of this layer only should be used when there is no suitable macro
+ in the _In_\_Out_ layer. Its macros start with _Pre_, _Post_, _Ret_,
+ _Deref_pre_ _Deref_post_ and _Deref_ret_. This layer provides the most
+ flexibility for annotations.
+
+ Implementation Abstraction Layer:
+ --------------------------------
+ Macros from this layer should never be used directly. The layer only exists
+ to hide the implementation of the annotation macros.
+
+
+ Annotation Syntax:
+ |--------------|----------|----------------|-----------------------------|
+ | Usage | Nullness | ZeroTerminated | Extent |
+ |--------------|----------|----------------|-----------------------------|
+ | _In_ | <> | <> | <> |
+ | _Out_ | opt_ | z_ | [byte]cap_[c_|x_]( size ) |
+ | _Inout_ | | | [byte]count_[c_|x_]( size ) |
+ | _Deref_out_ | | | ptrdiff_cap_( ptr ) |
+ |--------------| | | ptrdiff_count_( ptr ) |
+ | _Ret_ | | | |
+ | _Deref_ret_ | | | |
+ |--------------| | | |
+ | _Pre_ | | | |
+ | _Post_ | | | |
+ | _Deref_pre_ | | | |
+ | _Deref_post_ | | | |
+ |--------------|----------|----------------|-----------------------------|
+
+ Usage:
+ -----
+ _In_, _Out_, _Inout_, _Pre_, _Post_, _Deref_pre_, _Deref_post_ are for
+ formal parameters.
+ _Ret_, _Deref_ret_ must be used for return values.
+
+ Nullness:
+ --------
+ If the pointer can be NULL the annotation contains _opt. If the macro
+ does not contain '_opt' the pointer may not be NULL.
+
+ String Type:
+ -----------
+ _z: NullTerminated string
+ for _In_ parameters the buffer must have the specified stringtype before the call
+ for _Out_ parameters the buffer must have the specified stringtype after the call
+ for _Inout_ parameters both conditions apply
+
+ Extent Syntax:
+ |------|---------------|---------------|
+ | Unit | Writ\Readable | Argument Type |
+ |------|---------------|---------------|
+ | <> | cap_ | <> |
+ | byte | count_ | c_ |
+ | | | x_ |
+ |------|---------------|---------------|
+
+ 'cap' (capacity) describes the writable size of the buffer and is typically used
+ with _Out_. The default unit is elements. Use 'bytecap' if the size is given in bytes
+ 'count' describes the readable size of the buffer and is typically used with _In_.
+ The default unit is elements. Use 'bytecount' if the size is given in bytes.
+
+ Argument syntax for cap_, bytecap_, count_, bytecount_:
+ (<parameter>|return)[+n] e.g. cch, return, cb+2
+
+ If the buffer size is a constant expression use the c_ postfix.
+ E.g. cap_c_(20), count_c_(MAX_PATH), bytecount_c_(16)
+
+ If the buffer size is given by a limiting pointer use the ptrdiff_ versions
+ of the macros.
+
+ If the buffer size is neither a parameter nor a constant expression use the x_
+ postfix. e.g. bytecount_x_(num*size) x_ annotations accept any arbitrary string.
+ No analysis can be done for x_ annotations but they at least tell the tool that
+ the buffer has some sort of extent description. x_ annotations might be supported
+ by future compiler versions.

+/*
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Introduction
+
+ sal.h provides a set of annotations to describe how a function uses its
+ parameters - the assumptions it makes about them, and the guarantees it makes
+ upon finishing.
+
+ Annotations may be placed before either a function parameter's type or its return
+ type, and describe the function's behavior regarding the parameter or return value.
+ There are two classes of annotations: buffer annotations and advanced annotations.
+ Buffer annotations describe how functions use their pointer parameters, and
+ advanced annotations either describe complex/unusual buffer behavior, or provide
+ additional information about a parameter that is not otherwise expressible.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Buffer Annotations
+
+ The most important annotations in sal.h provide a consistent way to annotate
+ buffer parameters or return values for a function. Each of these annotations describes
+ a single buffer (which could be a string, a fixed-length or variable-length array,
+ or just a pointer) that the function interacts with: where it is, how large it is,
+ how much is initialized, and what the function does with it.
+
+ The appropriate macro for a given buffer can be constructed using the table below.
+ Just pick the appropriate values from each category, and combine them together
+ with a leading underscore. Some combinations of values do not make sense as buffer
+ annotations. Only meaningful annotations can be added to your code; for a list of
+ these, see the buffer annotation definitions section.
+
+ Only a single buffer annotation should be used for each parameter.
+
+ |------------|------------|---------|--------|----------|----------|---------------|
+ | Level | Usage | Size | Output | NullTerm | Optional | Parameters |
+ |------------|------------|---------|--------|----------|----------|---------------|
+ | <> | <> | <> | <> | _z | <> | <> |
+ | _deref | _in | _ecount | _full | _nz | _opt | (size) |
+ | _deref_opt | _out | _bcount | _part | | | (size,length) |
+ | | _inout | | | | | |
+ | | | | | | | |
+ |------------|------------|---------|--------|----------|----------|---------------|
+
+ Level: Describes the buffer pointer's level of indirection from the parameter or
+ return value 'p'.
+
+ <> : p is the buffer pointer.
+ _deref : *p is the buffer pointer. p must not be NULL.
+ _deref_opt : *p may be the buffer pointer. p may be NULL, in which case the rest of
+ the annotation is ignored.
+
+ Usage: Describes how the function uses the buffer.
+
+ <> : The buffer is not accessed. If used on the return value or with _deref, the
+ function will provide the buffer, and it will be uninitialized at exit.
+ Otherwise, the caller must provide the buffer. This should only be used
+ for alloc and free functions.
+ _in : The function will only read from the buffer. The caller must provide the
+ buffer and initialize it. Cannot be used with _deref.
+ _out : The function will only write to the buffer. If used on the return value or
+ with _deref, the function will provide the buffer and initialize it.
+ Otherwise, the caller must provide the buffer, and the function will
+ initialize it.
+ _inout : The function may freely read from and write to the buffer. The caller must
+ provide the buffer and initialize it. If used with _deref, the buffer may
+ be reallocated by the function.
+
+ Size: Describes the total size of the buffer. This may be less than the space actually
+ allocated for the buffer, in which case it describes the accessible amount.
+
+ <> : No buffer size is given. If the type specifies the buffer size (such as
+ with LPSTR and LPWSTR), that amount is used. Otherwise, the buffer is one
+ element long. Must be used with _in, _out, or _inout.
+ _ecount : The buffer size is an explicit element count.
+ _bcount : The buffer size is an explicit byte count.
+
+ Output: Describes how much of the buffer will be initialized by the function. For
+ _inout buffers, this also describes how much is initialized at entry. Omit this
+ category for _in buffers; they must be fully initialized by the caller.
+
+ <> : The type specifies how much is initialized. For instance, a function initializing
+ an LPWSTR must NULL-terminate the string.
+ _full : The function initializes the entire buffer.
+ _part : The function initializes part of the buffer, and explicitly indicates how much.
+
+ NullTerm: States if the present of a '\0' marks the end of valid elements in the buffer.
+ _z : A '\0' indicated the end of the buffer
+ _nz : The buffer may not be null terminated and a '\0' does not indicate the end of the
+ buffer.
+ Optional: Describes if the buffer itself is optional.
+
+ <> : The pointer to the buffer must not be NULL.
+ _opt : The pointer to the buffer might be NULL. It will be checked before being dereferenced.
+
+ Parameters: Gives explicit counts for the size and length of the buffer.
+
+ <> : There is no explicit count. Use when neither _ecount nor _bcount is used.
+ (size) : Only the buffer's total size is given. Use with _ecount or _bcount but not _part.
+ (size,length) : The buffer's total size and initialized length are given. Use with _ecount_part
+ and _bcount_part.
+

+ Buffer Annotation Examples
+
+ LWSTDAPI_(BOOL) StrToIntExA(
+ LPCSTR pszString, -- No annotation required, const implies __in.
+ DWORD dwFlags,
+ __out int *piRet -- A pointer whose dereference will be filled in.
+ );
+
+ void MyPaintingFunction(
+ __in HWND hwndControl, -- An initialized read-only parameter.
+ __in_opt HDC hdcOptional, -- An initialized read-only parameter that might be NULL.
+ __inout IPropertyStore *ppsStore -- An initialized parameter that may be freely used
+ -- and modified.
+ );
+
+ LWSTDAPI_(BOOL) PathCompactPathExA(
+ __out_ecount(cchMax) LPSTR pszOut, -- A string buffer with cch elements that will
+ -- be NULL terminated on exit.
+ LPCSTR pszSrc, -- No annotation required, const implies __in.
+ UINT cchMax,
+ DWORD dwFlags
+ );
+
+ HRESULT SHLocalAllocBytes(
+ size_t cb,
+ __deref_bcount(cb) T **ppv -- A pointer whose dereference will be set to an
+ -- uninitialized buffer with cb bytes.
+ );
+
+ __inout_bcount_full(cb) : A buffer with cb elements that is fully initialized at
+ entry and exit, and may be written to by this function.
+
+ __out_ecount_part(count, *countOut) : A buffer with count elements that will be
+ partially initialized by this function. The function indicates how much it
+ initialized by setting *countOut.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Advanced Annotations
+
+ Advanced annotations describe behavior that is not expressible with the regular
+ buffer macros. These may be used either to annotate buffer parameters that involve
+ complex or conditional behavior, or to enrich existing annotations with additional
+ information.
+
+ __success(expr) f :
+ <expr> indicates whether function f succeeded or not. If <expr> is true at exit,
+ all the function's guarantees (as given by other annotations) must hold. If <expr>
+ is false at exit, the caller should not expect any of the function's guarantees
+ to hold. If not used, the function must always satisfy its guarantees. Added
+ automatically to functions that indicate success in standard ways, such as by
+ returning an HRESULT.
+
+ __nullterminated p :
+ Pointer p is a buffer that may be read or written up to and including the first
+ NULL character or pointer. May be used on typedefs, which marks valid (properly
+ initialized) instances of that type as being NULL-terminated.
+
+ __nullnullterminated p :
+ Pointer p is a buffer that may be read or written up to and including the first
+ sequence of two NULL characters or pointers. May be used on typedefs, which marks
+ valid instances of that type as being double-NULL terminated.
+
+ __reserved v :
+ Value v must be 0/NULL, reserved for future use.
+
+ __checkReturn v :
+ Return value v must not be ignored by callers of this function.
+
+ __typefix(ctype) v :
+ Value v should be treated as an instance of ctype, rather than its declared type.
+
+ __override f :
+ Specify C#-style 'override' behaviour for overriding virtual methods.
+
+ __callback f :
+ Function f can be used as a function pointer.
+
+ __format_string p :
+ Pointer p is a string that contains % markers in the style of printf.
+
+ __blocksOn(resource) f :
+ Function f blocks on the resource 'resource'.
+
+ __fallthrough :
+ Annotates switch statement labels where fall-through is desired, to distinguish
+ from forgotten break statements.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Advanced Annotation Examples
+
+ __success(return == TRUE) LWSTDAPI_(BOOL)
+ PathCanonicalizeA(__out_ecount(MAX_PATH) LPSTR pszBuf, LPCSTR pszPath) :
+ pszBuf is only guaranteed to be NULL-terminated when TRUE is returned.
+
+ typedef __nullterminated WCHAR* LPWSTR : Initialized LPWSTRs are NULL-terminated strings.
+
+ __out_ecount(cch) __typefix(LPWSTR) void *psz : psz is a buffer parameter which will be
+ a NULL-terminated WCHAR string at exit, and which initially contains cch WCHARs.
