25 * Define wrapper structure representing an optional value.
26 *
27 * This macro defines an "is_set" boolean field that must be checked
28 * when accessing the optional field. This "is_set" field provides
29 * the semantics that would be expected of a typical "raw pointer" field
30 * which would be checked for NULL.
31 *
32 * Prefer using this macro where "special" values would be used, e.g.
33 * -1ULL for uint64_t types.
34 *
35 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL should be combined with the LTTNG_PACKED macro when
36 * used for IPC / network communication.
37 *
38 * Declaration example:
39 * struct my_struct {
40 * int a;
41 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL(int, b);
42 * };
43 *
44 * Usage example:
45 * struct my_struct foo = LTTNG_OPTIONAL_INIT;
46 *
47 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_SET(&foo.b, 42);
48 * if (foo.b.is_set) {
49 * printf("%d", foo.b.value);
50 * }
51 *
52 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_UNSET(&foo.b);
