 * Data Types
 * ==========
 *
 * The OPC UA protocol defines 25 builtin data types and three ways of combining
 * them into higher-order types: arrays, structures and unions. In open62541,
 * the builtin data types are defined manually. All other data types are
 * generated from standard XML definitions. Their exact definitions can be
 * looked up at https://opcfoundation.org/UA/schemas/Opc.Ua.Types.bsd.xml.
 *
 * For users that are new to open62541, take a look at the :ref:`tutorial for
 * working with data types<types-tutorial>` before diving into the
 * implementation details.

 * Variant
 * ^^^^^^^

 * Variants may contain values of any type together with a description of the

 * The standard mandates that variants contain built-in data types only. If the
 * value is not of a builtin type, it is wrapped into an :ref:`extensionobject`.
 * open62541 hides this wrapping transparently in the encoding layer. If the
 * data type is unknown to the receiver, the variant contains the original
 * ExtensionObject in binary or XML encoding.
 *
 * Variants may contain a scalar value or an array. For details on the handling
 * of arrays, see the section on :ref:`array-handling`. Array variants can have
 * an additional dimensionality (matrix, 3-tensor, ...) defined in an array of
 * dimension lengths. The actual values are kept in an array of dimensions one.
 * For users who work with higher-dimensions arrays directly, keep in mind that
 * dimensions of higher rank are serialized first (the highest rank dimension
 * has stride 1 and elements follow each other directly). Usually it is simplest
 * to interact with higher-dimensional arrays via ``UA_NumericRange``
 * descriptions (see :ref:`array-handling`).
 *
 * To differentiate between scalar / array variants, the following definition is
 * used. ``UA_Variant_isScalar`` provides simplified access to these checks.
 *
 * - ``arrayLength == 0 && data == NULL``: undefined array of length -1
 * - ``arrayLength == 0 && data == UA_EMPTY_ARRAY_SENTINEL``: array of length 0
 * - ``arrayLength == 0 && data > UA_EMPTY_ARRAY_SENTINEL``: scalar value
 * - ``arrayLength > 0``: array of the given length
 *
 * Variants can also be *empty*. Then, the pointer to the type description is
 * ``NULL``. */

 * Generic Type Handling
 * ---------------------
 *
 * All information about a (builtin/structured) data type is stored in a
 * ``UA_DataType``. The array ``UA_TYPES`` contains the description of all
 * standard-defined types. This type description is used for the following
 * generic operations that work on all types:
 *
 * - ``void T_init(T *ptr)``: Initialize the data type. This is synonymous with
 *   zeroing out the memory, i.e. ``memset(ptr, 0, sizeof(T))``.
 * - ``T* T_new()``: Allocate and return the memory for the data type. The
 *   value is already initialized.
 * - ``UA_StatusCode T_copy(const T *src, T *dst)``: Copy the content of the
 *   data type. Returns ``UA_STATUSCODE_GOOD`` or
 *   ``UA_STATUSCODE_BADOUTOFMEMORY``.
 * - ``void T_deleteMembers(T *ptr)``: Delete the dynamically allocated content
 *   of the data type and perform a ``T_init`` to reset the type.
 * - ``void T_delete(T *ptr)``: Delete the content of the data type and the
 *   memory for the data type itself.
 *
 * Specializations, such as ``UA_Int32_new()`` are derived from the generic
 * type operations as static inline functions.
