/**

 * @dontinclude eina_magic_01.c
 *
 * Whenever using Eina we must include it:
 * @skipline #include
 *
 * For this example we are going to define two classes, person and pilot, and
 * since every pilot is a person we use inheritance. To be type safe we are
 * going to add EINA_MAGIC to our classes:
 * @until struct _pilot pilot
 * @note The values of BASETYPE_MAGIC and SUBTYPE_MAGIC have no meaning, the
 * only important thing about them is that they are unique.
 *
 * Here we have a function to create a person given a name, nothing too fancy:
 * @until }
 *
 * And now the counterpart, a function to free a person.
 * @until {
 * Before we start releasing resources we check that the pointer we are given
 * actually points to a person, and if not we print an error message and
 * quit:
 * @until }
 * @note EINA_MAGIC_FAIL is a macro that makes it easy to print an appropriate
 * (and consistent) error message.
 * Now knowing that ptr is indeed of type person we proceed to set EINA_MAGIC to
 * EINA_MAGIC_NONE and free the allocated memory:
 * @until }
 * @note Setting EINA_MAGIC to EINA_MAGIC_NONE is important to prevent the
 * struct from being used after it is freed.
 *
 * Now we have our function to create a pilot, this one is a little more complex
 * because we need to set EINA_MAGIC for the pilot and pilot->base, this is very
 * important so that checking the EINA_MAGIC of (person*)my_pilot works:
 * @until }
 *
 * The function to free a pilot is not too different from the one that frees a
 * person:
 * @until }
 * @until }
 *
 * We also create functions to print a person or a pilot that check the type of
 * the pointers they receive:
 * @until }
 * @until }
 *
 * And for our main function where we declare some variables and initialize
 * Eina:
 * @until eina_init
 *
 * For Eina to be able to provide more informative error messages we are going
 * to give names to our EINA_MAGIC types:
 * @until string_set
 *
 * Since our types won't live longer than the scope of the current function we
 * can set the name without eina making a copy of the string:
 * @until static_set
 *
 * Now we create a person, a pilot, and print both as persons:
 * @until person *
 *
 * Now we try to print both as pilots, which obviously does not work since base
 * is not a pilot:
 * @until pilot(sub
 *
 * That's all folks:
 * @until }
 *
 * See full source @ref eina_magic_example_01_c "here".

 * @brief #Eina_Magic provides run-time type-checking.
 *
 * C is a weak statically typed language, in other words, it just checks for
 * types during compile time and any cast that makes the compiler believe the
 * type is correct.
 *
 * In the real world code, we often need to deal with casts, either explicit or
 * implicit, by means of @c void*. We also need to resort to casts when doing
 * inheritance in C.
 *
 * Eina_Magic gives us a way to do casts and still be certain of the type we are
 * operating on.
 *
 * @note It should be noted that it is considered a good practice to @b disable
 * #Eina_Magic for production code. The reasoning is that any #Eina_Magic errors
 * should have been caught during testing and therefore there is no reason to
 * incur the performance downside of #Eina_Magic.
 *
 * An @ref eina_magic_example_01_page "example" should elucidate matters.
