 * \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.

 * \param elm1 the first element
 * \param elm2 the second element
 *
 * \retval negative if elm1 < elm2
 * \retval 0 if elm1 == elm2
 * \retval positive if elm1 > elm2
 *
 * \note This implementation is of a max heap. However, if a min heap is
 * desired, simply swap the return values of this function.

/*!
 * \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
