NAME

SECTION, SECTION_ITERATE — section macros

SYNOPSIS

#include <libks/section.h>

SECTION(name);

int
SECTION_ITERATE(type *it, name);

DESCRIPTION

The section macros can be used to store and access data in custom binary sections.

The SECTION() macro is used to annotate that a variable resides in the section identified by name.

The SECTION_ITERATE() macro iterates over all elements stored in the section identified by name in which each element is expected to be of type. The current element can be accessed through it which must be zero initialized upon the first invocation.

EXAMPLES

static struct element SECTION(elements);

const struct element *it = NULL;
while (SECTION_ITERATE(it, elements))
	handle_element(it);
