#include #include #include "config.h" /** * typesafe_cb - macros for safe callbacks. * * The basis of the typesafe_cb header is cast_if_type(): a * conditional cast macro. If an expression exactly matches a given * type, it is cast to the target type, otherwise it is left alone. * * This allows us to create functions which take a small number of * specific types, rather than being forced to use a void *. In * particular, it is useful for creating typesafe callbacks as the * helpers typesafe_cb(), typesafe_cb_preargs() and * typesafe_cb_postargs() demonstrate. * * The standard way of passing arguments to callback functions in C is * to use a void pointer, which the callback then casts back to the * expected type. This unfortunately subverts the type checking the * compiler would perform if it were a direct call. Here's an example: * * static void my_callback(void *_obj) * { * struct obj *obj = _obj; * ... * } * ... * register_callback(my_callback, &my_obj); * * If we wanted to use the natural type for my_callback (ie. "void * my_callback(struct obj *obj)"), we could make register_callback() * take a void * as its first argument, but this would subvert all * type checking. We really want register_callback() to accept only * the exactly correct function type to match the argument, or a * function which takes a void *. * * This is where typesafe_cb() comes in: it uses cast_if_type() to * cast the callback function if it matches the argument type: * * void _register_callback(void (*cb)(void *arg), void *arg); * #define register_callback(cb, arg) \ * _register_callback(typesafe_cb(void, (cb), (arg)), (arg)) * * On compilers which don't support the extensions required * cast_if_type() and friend become an unconditional cast, so your * code will compile but you won't get type checking. * * Licence: LGPL (2 or any later version) */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc != 2) return 1; if (strcmp(argv[1], "depends") == 0) { return 0; } return 1; }
