/*
=for apidoc ADmnU||Nullav
Null AV pointer.

(deprecated - use C<(AV *)NULL> instead)

=for apidoc Am|SSize_t|AvFILL|AV* av
Same as C<L</av_top_index>> or C<L</av_tindex>>.

=for apidoc Cm|SSize_t|AvFILLp|AV* av

If the array C<av> is empty, this returns -1; otherwise it returns the maximum
value of the indices of all the array elements which are currently defined in
C<av>.  It does not handle magic, hence the C<p> private indication in its name.

=for apidoc Am|SV**|AvARRAY|AV* av
Returns a pointer to the AV's internal SV* array.

This is useful for doing pointer arithmetic on the array.
If all you need is to look up an array element, then prefer C<av_fetch>.

/*
=for apidoc newAV_alloc_x

Similar to newAV(), but a SV* array is also allocated.

This is similar to but more efficient than doing:

    AV *av = newAV();
    av_extend(av, key);

Note that the actual size requested is allocated. This is unlike
av_extend(), which takes the maximum desired array index (AvMAX) as its
"key" parameter, and enforces a minimum value for that of 3.

In other words, the following examples all result in an array that can
fit four elements (indexes 0 .. 3):

    AV *av = newAV();
    av_extend(av, 1);

    AV *av = newAV();
    av_extend(av, 3);

    AV *av = newAV_alloc_x(4);

Whereas this will result in an array that can only fit one element:

    AV *av = newAV_alloc_x(1);

newAV_alloc_x does not initialize the array with NULL pointers.
newAV_alloc_xz does do that initialization.

These macros MUST NOT be called with a size less than 1.
