There is no automatic promotion of unsigned to unsigned long when using va_arg,
which means it is illegal to pass an 'unsigned' value and then use it as an
unsigned long in eina_arg_vset. Doing so yields incorrect results on some
architectures like itanium

NOTE: some of this function should be moved as inline, but that's to late for a change
I think. So we will fix that if needed.
Second point, I am not happy with is eina_inarray_insert and eina_inarray_insert_at. The
naming is really poor.

Since k-s is on the road this days, we'd better write some code ourselves.
This is array counterpart of eina_value_struct_value_get(), and retrieves
an item from an Eina_Value_Array as an Eina_Value.
Code writing the setter is welcome.

I did a bad decision to steal memory for Array, List, Hash and Struct
types, it was nice to not have to copy it internally, but breaks when
one needs to set a new value that was set elsewhere. What did not
happen with string, integers and other basic types.
This was exposed by Raphael Kubo using eina_model_property_set() with
complex types (Array, List and Hash) and it was not possible to
correctly set such properties.
Now it's all set, but the behavior changed and the memory is not
stolen and released anymore. Test eina_test_value.c was changed to
reflect it.

It is common to already known the member, then no need to query
it. This provides optimized retrieval for people that can manage it.

efficient storage with named access, can specify compare, alloc, free
and other operations for even better management.
no changelog/news as this is under eina_value, all new for 1.2 release.
SVN revision: 67155
Nice type that even supports configurable operations such as compare,
free, copy and to_string.
the usual is also supported: provide no ops (operations) and memory
will be left untouched.
nice feature to dump as string :-)

Similar to list and array, but takes string keys instead of position.
It can convert to string, I've added tests for it, but hash algorithm
changes may break the simple comparison I did... and I don't want to
parse the string to be more accurate.

Similar to array, but less efficient as uses list nodes. If possible
values are stored on list->data itself, otherwise they are allocated
and the pointer goes as list->data.

eina value is a generic value storage, it's quite efficient to space
(16 bytes) and speed (inlines for basic types).
It's basically a structure describing how to manage memory
(Eina_Value_Type), with default implementation for char, short, int,
long, int64_t (and unsigned variants), float, double, stringshare and
string.
If a type 'value_size' is smaller than 8 bytes, it's stored
inline. Otherwise a value is allocated and managed.
Most of the methods are inline, with special handling for char, short,
int... Then no extra calls are made, allowing the compiler to optimize
them.
For array of a single type it is recommend to use Eina_Value_Array, as
it will efficiently store and access members (just a char if subtype
is EINA_VALUE_TYPE_CHAR, etc).
It can copy itself, compare itself. Including arrays.
It would be nice to have something that converts between EET and this.
