/**
 * @brief This adapter provides an interface for SerializeIF to serialize and deserialize
 *        buffers with a header containing the buffer length.
 * @details
 *
 * Can be used by SerialLinkedListAdapter by declaring
 * as a linked element with SerializeElement<SerialFixedArrayListAdapter<...>>.
 * The sequence of objects is defined in the constructor by using the setStart and setNext functions.
 *
 *  1. Buffers with a size header inside that class can be declared with
 *     SerialFixedArrayListAdapter<BUFFER_TYPE, MAX_BUFFER_LENGTH, LENGTH_FIELD_TYPE>.
 *  2. MAX_BUFFER_LENGTH specifies the maximum allowed number of elements in FixedArrayList
 *  3. LENGTH_FIELD_TYPE specifies the data type of the buffer header containing the buffer size
 *     (defaults to 1 byte length field) that follows
 *
 * @ingroup serialize
