* @section DESCRIPTION
*
* Dead mechanism definitions.
*
* The dead mechanism is a way for a piece of code to detect whether some
* specific event has occured during some operation (usually during calling
* a user-provided handler function), without requiring access to memory
* that might no longer be available because of the event.
*
* It works somehow like that:
*
* First a dead variable ({@link dead_t}) is allocated somewhere, and
* initialized with {@link DEAD_INIT}, e.g.:
* DEAD_INIT(dead);
*
* When the event that needs to be caught occurs, {@link DEAD_KILL} is
* called, e.g.:
* DEAD_KILL(dead);
* The memory used by the dead variable is no longer needed after
* that.
*
* If a piece of code needs to know whether the event occured during some
* operation (but it must not have occured before!), it puts {@link DEAD_ENTER}}
* in front of the operation, and does {@link DEAD_LEAVE} at the end. If
* {@link DEAD_LEAVE} returned nonzero, the event occured, otherwise it did
* not. Example:
* DEAD_ENTER(dead)
* HandlerFunction();
* if (DEAD_LEAVE(dead)) {
* (event occured)
* }
*
* If is is needed to check for the event more than once in a single block,
* {@link DEAD_DECLARE} should be put somewhere before, and {@link DEAD_ENTER2}
* should be used instead of {@link DEAD_ENTER}.
*
* If it is needed to check for multiple events (dead variables) at the same
* time, DEAD_*_N macros should be used instead, specifying different
* identiers as the first argument for different dead variables.
