//! A contiguous growable array type with heap-allocated contents, written
//! `Vec<T>` but pronounced 'vector.'
//!
//! Vectors have `O(1)` indexing, amortized `O(1)` push (to the end) and
//! `O(1)` pop (from the end).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! You can explicitly create a `Vec<T>` with `new()`:
//!
//! ```
//! let v: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();
//! ```
//!
//! ...or by using the `vec!` macro:
//!
//! ```
//! let v: Vec<i32> = vec![];
//!
//! let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
//!
//! let v = vec![0; 10]; // ten zeroes
//! ```
//!
//! You can `push` values onto the end of a vector (which will grow the vector
//! as needed):
//!
//! ```
//! let mut v = vec![1, 2];
//!
//! v.push(3);
//! ```
//!
//! Popping values works in much the same way:
//!
//! ```
//! let mut v = vec![1, 2];
//!
//! let two = v.pop();
//! ```
//!
//! Vectors also support indexing (through the `Index` and `IndexMut` traits):
//!
//! ```
//! let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];
//! let three = v[2];
//! v[1] = v[1] + 5;
//! ```

///
/// assert_eq!(vec.len(), 2);
/// assert_eq!(vec[0], 1);

///

/// ```
///
/// The `vec!` macro is provided to make initialization more convenient:
///
/// ```
/// let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// vec.push(4);
/// assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
/// ```
///
/// It can also initialize each element of a `Vec<T>` with a given value:
///
/// ```
/// let vec = vec![0; 5];
/// assert_eq!(vec, [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
/// ```
///
/// Use a `Vec<T>` as an efficient stack:
///
/// ```
/// let mut stack = Vec::new();
///
/// stack.push(1);
/// stack.push(2);
/// stack.push(3);
///
/// while let Some(top) = stack.pop() {
///     // Prints 3, 2, 1
///     println!("{}", top);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Indexing
///
/// The Vec type allows to access values by index, because it implements the
/// `Index` trait. An example will be more explicit:
///
/// ```
/// let v = vec!(0, 2, 4, 6);
/// println!("{}", v[1]); // it will display '2'
/// ```
///
/// However be careful: if you try to access an index which isn't in the Vec,
/// your software will panic! You cannot do this:
///
/// ```ignore
/// let v = vec!(0, 2, 4, 6);
/// println!("{}", v[6]); // it will panic!
/// ```
///
/// In conclusion: always check if the index you want to get really exists
/// before doing it.
///
/// # Slicing
///
/// A Vec can be mutable. Slices, on the other hand, are read-only objects.
/// To get a slice, use "&". Example:
///
/// ```
/// fn read_slice(slice: &[usize]) {
///     // ...
/// }
///
/// let v = vec!(0, 1);
/// read_slice(&v);
///
/// // ... and that's all!
/// // you can also do it like this:
/// let x : &[usize] = &v;
/// ```
///
/// In Rust, it's more common to pass slices as arguments rather than vectors
/// when you just want to provide a read access. The same goes for String and
/// &str.
///
/// # Capacity and reallocation
///
/// The capacity of a vector is the amount of space allocated for any future
/// elements that will be added onto the vector. This is not to be confused with
/// the *length* of a vector, which specifies the number of actual elements
/// within the vector. If a vector's length exceeds its capacity, its capacity
/// will automatically be increased, but its elements will have to be
/// reallocated.
///
/// For example, a vector with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty vector
/// with space for 10 more elements. Pushing 10 or fewer elements onto the
/// vector will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur. However,
/// if the vector's length is increased to 11, it will have to reallocate, which
/// can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended to use `Vec::with_capacity`
/// whenever possible to specify how big the vector is expected to get.
///
/// # Guarantees
///
/// Due to its incredibly fundamental nature, Vec makes a lot of guarantees
/// about its design. This ensures that it's as low-overhead as possible in
/// the general case, and can be correctly manipulated in primitive ways
/// by unsafe code. Note that these guarantees refer to an unqualified `Vec<T>`.
/// If additional type parameters are added (e.g. to support custom allocators),
/// overriding their defaults may change the behavior.
///
/// Most fundamentally, Vec is and always will be a (pointer, capacity, length)
/// triplet. No more, no less. The order of these fields is completely
/// unspecified, and you should use the appropriate methods to modify these.
/// The pointer will never be null, so this type is null-pointer-optimized.
///
/// However, the pointer may not actually point to allocated memory. In particular,
/// if you construct a Vec with capacity 0 via `Vec::new()`, `vec![]`,
/// `Vec::with_capacity(0)`, or by calling `shrink_to_fit()` on an empty Vec, it
/// will not allocate memory. Similarly, if you store zero-sized types inside
/// a Vec, it will not allocate space for them. *Note that in this case the
/// Vec may not report a `capacity()` of 0*. Vec will allocate if and only
/// if `mem::size_of::<T>() * capacity() > 0`. In general, Vec's allocation
/// details are subtle enough that it is strongly recommended that you only
/// free memory allocated by a Vec by creating a new Vec and dropping it.
///
/// If a Vec *has* allocated memory, then the memory it points to is on the heap
/// (as defined by the allocator Rust is configured to use by default), and its
/// pointer points to `len()` initialized elements in order (what you would see
/// if you coerced it to a slice), followed by `capacity() - len()` logically
/// uninitialized elements.
///
/// Vec will never perform a "small optimization" where elements are actually
/// stored on the stack for two reasons:
///
/// * It would make it more difficult for unsafe code to correctly manipulate
///   a Vec. The contents of a Vec wouldn't have a stable address if it were
///   only moved, and it would be more difficult to determine if a Vec had
///   actually allocated memory.
///
/// * It would penalize the general case, incurring an additional branch
///   on every access.
///
/// Vec will never automatically shrink itself, even if completely empty. This
/// ensures no unnecessary allocations or deallocations occur. Emptying a Vec
/// and then filling it back up to the same `len()` should incur no calls to
/// the allocator. If you wish to free up unused memory, use `shrink_to_fit`.
///
/// `push` and `insert` will never (re)allocate if the reported capacity is
/// sufficient. `push` and `insert` *will* (re)allocate if `len() == capacity()`.
/// That is, the reported capacity is completely accurate, and can be relied on.
/// It can even be used to manually free the memory allocated by a Vec if
/// desired. Bulk insertion methods *may* reallocate, even when not necessary.
///
/// Vec does not guarantee any particular growth strategy when reallocating
/// when full, nor when `reserve` is called. The current strategy is basic
/// and it may prove desirable to use a non-constant growth factor. Whatever
/// strategy is used will of course guarantee `O(1)` amortized `push`.
///
/// `vec![x; n]`, `vec![a, b, c, d]`, and `Vec::with_capacity(n)`, will all
/// produce a Vec with exactly the requested capacity. If `len() == capacity()`,
/// (as is the case for the `vec!` macro), then a `Vec<T>` can be converted
/// to and from a `Box<[T]>` without reallocating or moving the elements.
///
/// Vec will not specifically overwrite any data that is removed from it,
/// but also won't specifically preserve it. Its uninitialized memory is
/// scratch space that it may use however it wants. It will generally just do
/// whatever is most efficient or otherwise easy to implement. Do not rely on
/// removed data to be erased for security purposes. Even if you drop a Vec, its
/// buffer may simply be reused by another Vec. Even if you zero a Vec's memory
/// first, that may not actually happen because the optimizer does not consider
/// this a side-effect that must be preserved.
///
/// Vec does not currently guarantee the order in which elements are dropped
/// (the order has changed in the past, and may change again).
