Define Documentation

#define alignof

(

type

)

offsetof(struct { char c; type member; }, member)

Return the alignment in memory of a generic data type.

Note:

We need to worry about alignment when allocating memory that will be used later by unknown objects (e.g., malloc()) or, more generally, whenever creating generic container types.

Definition at line 517 of file compiler.h.

#define containerof	(	ptr,
		type,
		member		)

Value:

({ \
        typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *_mptr = (ptr); /* type check */ \
        (type *)(void *)((char *)_mptr - offsetof(type, member)); \
    })

Cast a member of a structure out to the containing structure.

Parameters:

	ptr	the pointer to the member.
	type	the type of the container struct this is embedded in.
	member	the name of the member within the struct.

Definition at line 528 of file compiler.h.

#define countof

(

a

)

(sizeof(a) / sizeof(*(a)))

Count the number of elements in the static array a.

Note:

This macro is non-standard, but implements a very common idiom

Definition at line 507 of file compiler.h.

#define offsetof	(	s,
		m		)	(size_t)&(((s *)0)->m)

Return the byte offset of the member m in struct s.

Note:

This macro should be defined in "stddef.h" and is sometimes compiler-specific (g++ has a builtin for it).
