Detailed Description

A wrapper class around the buffer used by filesort(). The buffer is a contiguous chunk of memory, where the first part is <num_records> pointers to the actual data.

We wrap the buffer in order to be able to do lazy initialization of the pointers: the buffer is often much larger than what we actually need.

The buffer must be kept available for multiple executions of the same sort operation, so we have explicit allocate and free functions, rather than doing alloc/free in CTOR/DTOR.

inline

We need an assignment operator, see filesort(). This happens to have the same semantics as the one that would be generated by the compiler. We still implement it here, to show shallow assignment explicitly: we have two objects sharing the same array.
