/*
 * Relative pointers are intended to be used when storing an address that may
 * be relative either to the base of the process's address space or some
 * dynamic shared memory segment mapped therein.
 *
 * The idea here is that you declare a relative pointer as relptr(type)
 * and then use relptr_access to dereference it and relptr_store to change
 * it.  The use of a union here is a hack, because what's stored in the
 * relptr is always a Size, never an actual pointer.  But including a pointer
 * in the union allows us to use stupid macro tricks to provide some measure
 * of type-safety.
 */

/*
 * pgindent gets confused by declarations that use "relptr(type)" directly,
 * so preferred style is to write
 *		typedef struct ... SomeStruct;
 *		relptr_declare(SomeStruct, RelptrSomeStruct);
 * and then declare pointer variables as "RelptrSomeStruct someptr".
