# I'm confused on the intent of the following:
#
# Buffer *new_tracked_header(struct Parrot_Interp *interpreter,
# size_t size) {
# UNUSED (interpreter);
# return (Buffer *)mem_sys_allocate(size);
# }
#
#
# A Buffer is a fixed size struct with void * for data,
# however, this takes a
# size
# argument.
#
# I assume the intent is to allow casting from Buffer to other
# tracked types?
The intent is that you should be able to have buffers of different
sizes. For example, STRING is a type of buffer with tons of fields
tacked on to the end of it. You should be able to treat STRINGs as
Buffers, even in allocation.
