container_of宏,它的功能是得到包含某个结构成员的结构的指针:
其实现如下:
#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
(type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})
分析可知__mptr指向的是一个type结构里typeof(((type
*)0)->member)类型member成员的指针,offsetof(type,member)是这个成员在结构中的偏移,单位是字节,所以
为了计算type结构的起始地址,__mptr减去它自己的偏移。
