 * \brief A max heap.
 *
 * \note Thread-safety is left to the user of the API.  The heap API provides
 *       no locking of its own.  If the heap will be accessed by multiple threads,
 *       then a lock must be used to ensure that only a single operation is
 *       done on the heap at a time.  For the sake of convenience, a lock is
 *       provided for the user of the API to use if another lock is not already
 *       available to protect the heap.

/*!
 * \brief Create a max heap
 *
 * \param init_height The initial height of the heap to allocate space for.
 *        To start out, there will be room for (2 ^ init_height) - 1 entries.
 *        However, the heap will grow as needed.
 * \param cmp_fn The function that should be used to compare elements in the heap.
 * \param index_offset This parameter is optional, but must be provided to be able
 *        to use ast_heap_remove().  This is the number of bytes into the element
 *        where an ssize_t has been made available for the heap's internal
 *        use.  The heap will use this field to keep track of the element's current
 *        position in the heap.  The offsetof() macro is useful for providing a
 *        proper value for this argument.  If ast_heap_remove() will not be used,
 *        then a negative value can be provided to indicate that no field for an
 *        offset has been allocated.
 *
 * Example Usage:
 *
 * \code
 *
 * struct myobj {
 *    int foo;
 *    int bar;
 *    char stuff[8];
 *    char things[8];
 *    ssize_t __heap_index;
 * };
 *
 * ...
 *
 * static int myobj_cmp(void *obj1, void *obj2);
 *
 * ...
 *
 * struct ast_heap *h;
 *
 * h = ast_heap_create(8, myobj_cmp, offsetof(struct myobj, __heap_index));
 *
 * \endcode
 *
 * \return An instance of a max heap
