/**
This macro needs to be applied to a VTable structure

The design choice is that it is applied to a VTable and not to a trait so that cbindgen
can see the actual vtable struct.

This macro needs to be applied to a struct whose name ends with "VTable", and which
contains members which are function pointers.

For example, if it is applied to `struct MyTraitVTable`, it will create:
 - The `MyTrait` trait with all the functions.
 - The `MyTraitConsts` trait for the associated constants, if any
 - `MyTraitVTable_static!` macro.

It will also implement the `VTableMeta` and `VTableMetaDrop` traits so that VRef and so on can work,
allowing to access methods from the trait directly from VRef.

This macro does the following transformation:

For function type fields:
 - `unsafe` is added to the signature, since it is unsafe to call these functions directly from
   the vtable without having a valid pointer to the actual object. But if the original function was
   marked unsafe, the unsafety is forwarded to the trait.
 - If a field is called `drop`, then it is understood that this is the destructor for a VBox.
   It must have the type `fn(VRefMut<MyVTable>)`
 - If two fields called `drop_in_place` and `dealloc` are present, then they are understood to be
    in-place destructors and deallocation functions. `drop_in_place` must have the signature
    `fn(VRefMut<MyVTable> -> Layout`, and `dealloc` must have the signature
    `fn(&MyVTable, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout)`.
    `drop_in_place` is responsible for destructing the object and returning the memory layout that
    was used for the initial allocation. It will be passed to `dealloc`, which is responsible for releasing
    the memory. These two functions are used to enable the use of `VRc` and `VWeak`.
 - If the first argument of the function is `VRef<MyVTable>` or `VRefMut<MyVTable>`, then it is
   understood as a `&self` or `&mut self` argument in the trait.
 - Similarly, if it is a `Pin<VRef<MyVTable>>` or `Pin<VRefMut<MyVTable>>`, self is mapped
   to `Pin<&Self>` or `Pin<&mut Self>`

For the other fields:
 - They are considered associated constants of the MyTraitConsts trait.
 - If they are annotated with the `#[field_offset(FieldType)]` attribute, the type of the field must be `usize`,
   and the associated const in the trait will be of type `FieldOffset<Self, FieldType>`, and an accessor to
   the field reference and reference mut will be added to the Target of VRef and VRefMut.

The VRef/VRefMut/VBox structure will dereference to a type which has the following associated items:
 - The functions from the vtable that have a VRef or VRefMut first parameter for self.
 - For each `#[field_offset]` attributes, a corresponding getter returns a reference
   to that field, and mutable accessor that ends with `_mut` returns a mutable reference.
 - `as_ptr` returns a `*mut u8`
 - `get_vtable` Return a reference to the VTable so one can access the associated consts.

The VTable struct gets a `new` associated function that creates a vtable for any type
that implements the generated traits.

## Example


```
use vtable::*;
// we are going to declare a VTable structure for an Animal trait
#[vtable]
#[repr(C)]
struct AnimalVTable {
    /// Pointer to a function that make noise.
    /// `unsafe` will automatically be added
    make_noise: fn(VRef<AnimalVTable>, i32) -> i32,

    /// if there is a 'drop' member, it is considered as the destructor
    drop: fn(VRefMut<AnimalVTable>),

    /// Associated constant.
    LEG_NUMBER: i8,

    /// There exist a `bool` field in the structure and this is an offset
    #[field_offset(bool)]
    IS_HUNGRY: usize,

}

#[repr(C)]
struct Dog{ strength: i32, is_hungry: bool };

// The #[vtable] macro created the Animal Trait
impl Animal for Dog {
    fn make_noise(&self, intensity: i32) -> i32 {
        println!("Wof!");
        return self.strength * intensity;
    }
}

// The #[vtable] macro created the AnimalConsts Trait
impl AnimalConsts for Dog {
    const LEG_NUMBER: i8 = 4;
    const IS_HUNGRY: vtable::FieldOffset<Self, bool> = unsafe { vtable::FieldOffset::new_from_offset(4) };
}


// The #[vtable] macro also exposed a macro to create a vtable
AnimalVTable_static!(static DOG_VT for Dog);

// with that, it is possible to instantiate a vtable::VRefMut
let mut dog = Dog { strength: 100, is_hungry: false };
{
    let mut animal_vref = VRefMut::<AnimalVTable>::new(&mut dog);

    // access to the vtable through the get_vtable() function
    assert_eq!(animal_vref.get_vtable().LEG_NUMBER, 4);
    // functions are also added for the #[field_offset] member
    assert_eq!(*animal_vref.IS_HUNGRY(), false);
    *animal_vref.IS_HUNGRY_mut() = true;
}
assert_eq!(dog.is_hungry, true);
```
