/*
 * A variant of hts_parse_reg which is reference-id aware.  It uses
 * the iterator name2id callbacks to validate the region tokenisation works.
 *
 * This is necessary due to GRCh38 HLA additions which have reference names
 * like "HLA-DRB1*12:17".
 *
 * All parameters are mandatory.
 *
 * To work around ambiguous parsing issues, eg both "chr1" and "chr1:100-200"
 * are reference names, we may quote using curly braces.
 * Thus "{chr1}:100-200" and "{chr1:100-200}" disambiguate the above example.
 *
 * Flags are used to control how parsing works, and can be one of the below.
 *
 * HTS_PARSE_LIST:
 *     If present, the region is assmed to be a comma separated list and
 *     position parsing will not contain commas (this implicitly
 *     clears HTS_PARSE_THOUSANDS_SEP in the call to hts_parse_decimal).
 *     On success the return pointer will be the start of the next region, ie
 *     the character after the comma.  (If *ret != '\0' then the caller can
 *     assume another region is present in the list.)
 *
 *     If not set then positions may contain commas.  In this case the return
 *     value should point to the end of the string, or NULL on failure.
 *
 * HTS_PARSE_ONE_COORD:
 *     If present, X:100 is treated as the single base pair region X:100-100.
 *     In this case X:-100 is shorthand for X:1-100 and X:100- is X:100-<end>.
 *     (This is the standard bcftools region convention.)
 *
 *     When not set X:100 is considered to be X:100-<end> where <end> is
 *     the end of chromosome X (set to HTS_POS_MAX here).  X:100- and X:-100
 *     are invalid.
 *     (This is the standard samtools region convention.)
 *
 * Note the supplied string expects 1 based inclusive coordinates, but the
 * returned coordinates start from 0 and are half open, so pos0 is valid
 * for use in e.g. "for (pos0 = beg; pos0 < end; pos0++) {...}"
 *
 * On success a pointer to the byte after the end of the entire region
 *            specifier is returned (plus any trailing comma), and tid,
 *            beg & end will be set.
 * On failure NULL is returned.

/*
 * Companion to hts_resize() macro that does the actual allocation.
 *
 * Somewhat complicated as hts_resize() needs to write the new allocated
 * size back into *size_in_out, and the value pointed to may either be
 * int32_t, uint32_t or size_t depending on which array is being resized.
 * This is solved by making `size_in_out` a void pointer, getting the macro
 * to pass in the size of the item pointed to (in `size_sz`) and then using
 * an appropriate cast (based on the value of size_sz).  The function
 * ensures that the maximum size will be storable in a signed type of
 * the given size so storing to an int32_t should work correctly.
 *
 * Assumes that sizeof(uint32_t) and sizeof(int32_t) is 4,
 * sizeof(uint64_t) and sizeof(int64_t) is 8 and sizeof(size_t) is
 * either 4 or 8.  It also assumes casting from unsigned to signed will
 * work as long as the top bit isn't set.
