*
* For this example we add stdlib.h, stdio.h and string.h for some
* convenience functions. The first thing to do to be able to use an
* @ref Eina_Array is to include Eina.h:
* @skip #include
* @until Eina.h
*
* Here we have a callback that prints the element given to it:
* @until }
*
* Now we create our entry point and declare some variables, nothing especial:
* @until unsigned
*
* Before we can start using any array function we need to initialize eina:
* @until eina_init
*
* So now to actually creating our array. The only interesting thing here is the
* argument given to the eina_array_new() function, this argument sets how fast
* the array grows.
* @until array_new
*
* If you know before hand how big the array will need to be you should set the
* step to that. In our case we can set it to the number of string we have and
* since we didn't do that in the eina_array_new() we can do it now:
* @until array_step_set
*
* Now let us populate our array with some strings:
* @until push
* @note Notice we use strdup, so we will have to free that memory later on.
*
* Now lets check the size of the array:
* @until printf
*
* And now we call a function on every member of our array to print it:
* @until foreach
*
* One of the strenghts of @ref Eina_Array over @ref Eina_List is that it has
* very fast random access to elements, so this is very efficient:
* @until printf
*
* And now we free up the memory allocated with the strdup()s:
* @until free
*
* And the array memory itself:
* @until array_free
*
* And finally shutdown eina and exit:
* @until }
*
* The full source code can be found on the examples folder
* on the @ref eina_array_01_c "eina_array_01.c" file.

/**

* @skip #include
* @until Eina.h
*
* This the callback we are going to use to decide which strings stay on the
* array and which will be removed, we use something simple, but this can be as
* complex as you like:
* @until }
*
* This is the same code we used before to populate the list with the slight
* difference of not using strdup:
* @until array_push
*
* So we have added all our elements to the array, but it turns out that is not
* the elements we wanted, so let's empty the array and add the correct strings:
* @until array_push
*
* It seems we made a little mistake in one of our strings so we need to replace
* it, here is how:
* @until data_set
*
* Now that there is a populated array we can remove elements from it easily:
* @until array_remove
*
* And check that the elements were actually removed:
* @until printf
*
* Since this time we didn't use strdup we don't need to free each string:
* @until }

*
* @brief These functions provide array management.
*
* The Array data type in Eina is designed to have very fast access to
* its data (compared to the Eina @ref Eina_List_Group). On the other hand,
* data can be added or removed only at the end of the array. To insert
* data at any place, the Eina @ref Eina_List_Group is the correct container
* to use.
*
* To use the array data type, eina_init() must be called before any
* other array functions. When no more eina array functions are used,
* eina_shutdown() must be called to free all the resources.
*
* An array must be created with eina_array_new(). It allocates all
* the necessary data for an array. When not needed anymore, an array
* is freed with eina_array_free(). This function does not free any
* allocated memory used to store the data of each element. For that,
* just iterate over the array to free them. A convenient way to do
* that is by using #EINA_ARRAY_ITER_NEXT. An example of code is given
* in the description of this macro.
*
* @warning Functions do not check if the used array is valid or not. It's up to
* the user to be sure of that. It is designed like that for performance
* reasons.
*
* The usual features of an array are classic ones: to append an
* element, use eina_array_push() and to remove the last element, use
* eina_array_pop(). To retrieve the element at a given position, use
* eina_array_data_get(). The number of elements can be retrieved with
* eina_array_count_get().
*
* Eina_Array is different from a conventional C array in a number of ways, most
* importantly they grow and shrink dynamically, this means that if you add an
* element to a full array it grows and that when you remove an element from an
* array it @b may shrink.
*
* When the array needs to grow it allocates memory not just for the element
* currently being added since that would mean allocating memory(which is
* computationally expensive) often, instead it grows to be able to hold @p step
* more elements. Similarly if you remove elements in such a way that that the
* array is left holding its capacity - @p step elements it will shrink.
*
* The following image illustrates how an Eina_Array grows:
*
* @image html eina_array-growth.png
* @image latex eina_array-growth.eps width=\textwidth
*
* Eina_Array only stores pointers but it can store data of any type in the form
* of void pointers.
*
* See here some examples:
* @li @ref array_01_example_page
* @li @ref array_02_example_page
