/* The following macros facilitate function replacement and wrapping.

   Function wrapping and function replacement are similar but not
   identical.

   A replacement for some function F simply diverts all calls to F
   to the stated replacement.  There is no way to get back to F itself
   from the replacement.

   A wrapper for a function F causes all calls to F to instead go to
   the wrapper.  However, from inside the wrapper, it is possible
   (with some difficulty) to get to F itself.

   You may notice that replacement is a special case of wrapping, in
   which the call to the original is omitted.  For implementation
   reasons, though, it is important to use the following macros
   correctly: in particular, if you want to write a replacement, make
   sure you use the VG_REPLACE_FN_ macros and not the VG_WRAP_FN_
   macros.

   Replacement
   ~~~~~~~~~~~
   To write a replacement function, do this:

      ret_type 
      VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION_ZU(zEncodedSoname,fnname) ( .. args .. )
      {
         ... body ...
      }

   zEncodedSoname should be a Z-encoded soname (see below for Z-encoding
   details) and fnname should be an unencoded fn name.  The resulting name is

      _vgrZU_zEncodedSoname_fnname

   The "_vgrZU_" is a prefix that gets discarded upon decoding.

   It is also possible to write

      ret_type 
      VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION_ZZ(zEncodedSoname,zEncodedFnname) ( .. args .. )
      {
         ... body ...
      }
   
   which means precisely the same, but the function name is also
   Z-encoded.  This can sometimes be necessary.  In this case the
   resulting function name is

      _vgrZZ_zEncodedSoname_zEncodedFnname

   When it sees this either such name, the core's symbol-table reading
   machinery and redirection machinery first Z-decode the soname and 
   if necessary the fnname.  They are encoded so that they may include
   arbitrary characters, and in particular they may contain '*', which
   acts as a wildcard.

   They then will conspire to cause calls to any function matching
   'fnname' in any object whose soname matches 'soname' to actually be
   routed to this function.  This is used in Valgrind to define dozens
   of replacements of malloc, free, etc.

   The soname must be a Z-encoded bit of text because sonames can
   contain dots etc which are not valid symbol names.  The function
   name may or may not be Z-encoded: to include wildcards it has to be,
   but Z-encoding C++ function names which are themselves already mangled
   using Zs in some way is tedious and error prone, so the _ZU variant
   allows them not to be Z-encoded.

   Note that the soname "NONE" is specially interpreted to match any
   shared object which doesn't have a soname.

   Note also that the replacement function should probably (must be?) in
   client space, so it runs on the simulated CPU.  So it must be in
   either vgpreload_<tool>.so or vgpreload_core.so.  It also only works
   with functions in shared objects, I think.
   
   It is important that the Z-encoded names contain no unencoded
   underscores, since the intercept-handlers in m_redir.c detect the
   end of the soname by looking for the first trailing underscore.

   Wrapping
   ~~~~~~~~
   This is identical to replacement, except that you should use the
   macro names

      VG_WRAP_FUNCTION_ZU
      VG_WRAP_FUNCTION_ZZ

   instead.

   Z-encoding
   ~~~~~~~~~~
   Z-encoding details: the scheme is like GHC's.  It is just about
   readable enough to make a preprocessor unnecessary.  First the
   "_vgrZU_" or "_vgrZZ_" prefix is added, and then the following
   characters are transformed.

     *         -->  Za    (asterisk)
     +         -->  Zp    (plus)
     :         -->  Zc    (colon)
     .         -->  Zd    (dot)
     _         -->  Zu    (underscore)
     -         -->  Zh    (hyphen)
     (space)   -->  Zs    (space)
     @         -->  ZA    (at)
     Z         -->  ZZ    (Z)
     (         -->  ZL    (left)
     )         -->  ZR    (right)

   Everything else is left unchanged.

   changed accordingly.  NOTE: duplicates
   I_{WRAP,REPLACE}_SONAME_FNNAME_Z{U,Z} in valgrind.h. */
