//! # Low-level typesystem for the FFI layer of a component interface.
//!
//! This module provides the "FFI-level" typesystem of a UniFFI Rust Component, that is,
//! the C-style functions and structs and primitive datatypes that are used to interface
//! between the Rust component code and the foreign-language bindings.
//!
//! These types are purely an implementation detail of UniFFI, so consumers shouldn't
//! need to know about them. But as a developer working on UniFFI itself, you're likely
//! to spend a lot of time thinking about how these low-level types are used to represent
//! the higher-level "interface types" from the [`super::types::Type`] enum.
/// Represents the restricted set of low-level types that can be used to construct
/// the C-style FFI layer between a rust component and its foreign language bindings.
///
/// For the types that involve memory allocation, we make a distinction between
/// "owned" types (the recipient must free it, or pass it to someone else) and
/// "borrowed" types (the sender must keep it alive for the duration of the call).
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)]

/// The templates will generate a unique `free` function for each T.
/// The inner string references the name of the `T` type.

/// A byte buffer allocated by rust, and owned by whoever currently holds it.
/// If you've got one of these, you must either call the appropriate rust function to free it
