These absolute symbols are typically utilized by * assembly source files rather than hardcoding the values in some local header * file. * * WARNING: Absolute symbols can potentially be utilized by external tools -- * for example, to locate a specific field within a data structure. * Consequently, changes made to such symbols may require modifications to the * associated tool(s). Typically, relocating a member of a structure merely * requires that a tool be rebuilt; however, moving a member to another * structure (or to a new sub-structure within an existing structure) may * require that the tool itself be modified. Likewise, deleting, renaming, or * changing the meaning of an absolute symbol may require modifications to a * tool. * * The macro "GEN_OFFSET_SYM(structure, member)" is used to generate a single * absolute symbol. The absolute symbol will appear in the object module * generated from the source file that utilizes the GEN_OFFSET_SYM() macro. * Absolute symbols representing a structure member offset have the following * form: * * ____OFFSET * * The macro "GEN_NAMED_OFFSET_SYM(structure, member, name)" is also provided * to create the symbol with the following form: * * ____OFFSET * * This header also defines the GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM macro to simply define an * absolute symbol, irrespective of whether the value represents a structure * or offset. * * The following sample file illustrates the usage of the macros available * in this file: * * * * #include * /@ include struct definitions for which offsets symbols are to be * generated @/ * * #include * GEN_ABS_SYM_BEGIN (_OffsetAbsSyms) /@ the name parameter is arbitrary @/ * /@ _kernel_t structure member offsets @/ * * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (_kernel_t, nested); * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (_kernel_t, irq_stack); * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (_kernel_t, current); * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (_kernel_t, idle); * * GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM (___kernel_t_SIZEOF, sizeof(_kernel_t)); * * GEN_ABS_SYM_END * * * Compiling the sample offsets.c results in the following symbols in offsets.o: * * $ nm offsets.o * 00000000 A ___kernel_t_nested_OFFSET * 00000004 A ___kernel_t_irq_stack_OFFSET * 00000008 A ___kernel_t_current_OFFSET * 0000000c A ___kernel_t_idle_OFFSET */ #ifndef ZEPHYR_KERNEL_INCLUDE_GEN_OFFSET_H_ #define ZEPHYR_KERNEL_INCLUDE_GEN_OFFSET_H_ #include #include /* definition of the GEN_OFFSET_SYM() macros is toolchain independent */ #define GEN_OFFSET_SYM(S, M) \ GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM(__##S##_##M##_##OFFSET, offsetof(S, M)) #define GEN_NAMED_OFFSET_SYM(S, M, N) \ GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM(__##S##_##N##_##OFFSET, offsetof(S, M)) #endif /* ZEPHYR_KERNEL_INCLUDE_GEN_OFFSET_H_ */
