# A sketch of Mu-style handles or kinda-safe pointers, that add a modicum of
# checking to dynamically allocated memory.
#
# This approach avoids using 'allocate' directly in favor of two primitives:
# - 'new', which allocates some space (the 'payload'), stores the address
# along with an opaque 'alloc id' in a 'handle', and prepends the same
# alloc id to the payload.
# - 'lookup', which checks that the alloc id at the start of a handle matches
# the alloc id at the start of the payload before returning the address.
#
# Layout of a handle:
# offset 0: alloc id
# offset 4: address
#
# To run:
# $ ./subx translate 0*.subx apps/handle.subx -o apps/handle
# $ ./subx run apps/handle
# Expected result is a successful lookup followed by a hard abort:
# lookup succeeded
# lookup failed
# (This file is a prototype. The 'tests' in it aren't real; failures are
# expected.)
