  14  * Define wrapper structure representing an optional value.
  15  *
  16  * This macro defines an "is_set" boolean field that must be checked
  17  * when accessing the optional field. This "is_set" field provides
  18  * the semantics that would be expected of a typical "raw pointer" field
  19  * which would be checked for NULL.
  20  *
  21  * Prefer using this macro where "special" values would be used, e.g.
  22  * -1ULL for uint64_t types.
  23  *
  24  * Declaration example:
  25  * struct my_struct {
  26  *      int a;
  27  *      LTTNG_OPTIONAL(int) b;
  28  * };
  29  *
  30  * Usage example:
  31  * struct my_struct foo = LTTNG_OPTIONAL_INIT;
  32  *
  33  * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_SET(&foo.b, 42);
  34  * if (foo.b.is_set) {
  35  *      printf("%d", foo.b.value);
  36  * }
  37  *
  38  * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_UNSET(&foo.b);
