/* A buffer is a chunk of memory stored outside the V8 heap, mirrored by an
 * object in javascript. The object is not totally opaque, one can access
 * individual bytes with [] and slice it into substrings or sub-buffers
 * without copying memory.
 */

/*
   The C++ API for Buffer changed radically between v0.2 and v0.3, in fact
   it was the reason for bumping the version. In v0.2 JavaScript Buffers and
   C++ Buffers were in one-to-one correspondence via ObjectWrap. We found
   that it was faster to expose the C++ Buffers to JavaScript as a
   "SlowBuffer" which is used as a private backend to pure JavaScript
   "Buffer" objects - a 'Buffer' in v0.3 might look like this:

   { _parent: s,
     _offset: 520,
     length: 5 }

   Migrating code C++ Buffer code from v0.2 to v0.3 is difficult. Here are
   some tips:
    - buffer->data() calls should become Buffer::Data(buffer) calls.
    - buffer->length() calls should become Buffer::Length(buffer) calls.
    - There should not be any ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Buffer>() calls. You should
      not be storing pointers to Buffer objects at all - as they are
      now considered internal structures. Instead consider making a
      JavaScript reference to the buffer.

   See the source code node-png as an example of a module which successfully
   compiles on both v0.2 and v0.3 while making heavy use of the C++ Buffer
   API.
