/*
*
* signatr.h
*
* This file defines the signatures of various T.120 objects. These
* signatures are used mainly for debugging debug and retail versions
* of T.120.
*
* T.120 used to have many many dictionaries where pointers to objects were put using
* 16-bit values as keys to search the dictionary and get the pointer to
* the appropriate object. These lookups were inefficient for three
* reasons:
*
* 1. The lookup takes time
* 2. The dictionaries take space
* 3. A 16-bit value passed around requires masking to extract in a
* 32-bit machine, that is, extra instructions.
*
* To eliminate these efficiency problems, the pointers to the objects are
* used as handles to them (unique values identifying the objects).
* But, to catch bugs caused by modifications of these handles as they are
* passed around, we need to put a signature in each object that lets us
* verify whether an object of type X is really an object of type X. The way
* we do this is by specifying a unique signature for type X and putting this
* signature into every object of type X.
*
* Each signature contains only 8 significant bytes.
