25 * Takes a pointer x and transform it so we can use it to access members
26 * without a function call. Here an example:
27 *
28 * #define GET_SIZE(x) LTTNG_REF(x)->size
29 *
30 * struct { int size; } s;
31 *
32 * printf("size : %d\n", GET_SIZE(&s));
33 *
34 * For this example we can't use something like this for compatibility purpose
35 * since this will fail:
36 *
37 * #define GET_SIZE(x) x->size;
38 *
39 * This is mostly use for the compatibility layer of lttng-tools. See
40 * poll/epoll for a good example. Since x can be on the stack or allocated
41 * memory using malloc(), we must use generic accessors for compat in order to
42 * *not* use a function to access members and not the variable name.
