NAME

structs_type_pointer — structs type for pointers

LIBRARY

PDEL Library (libpdel, -lpdel)

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pdel/structs/structs.h>
#include <pdel/structs/type/pointer.h>

STRUCTS_POINTER_TYPE(reftype, mtype);

DESCRIPTION

The STRUCTS_POINTER_TYPE() macro defines a structs(3) type (i.e., a struct structs_type) for describing pointers to data structures allocated from heap memory. reftype is the structs type describing the pointed-to data structure; it must be a pointer to a struct structs_type. mtype is the typed_mem(3) type used for allocating instances of the data structure.

The default value for this type is a pointer to a default value data structure.

It is illegal for a pointer described by this type to be NULL.
