15 * Define wrapper structure representing an optional value.
16 *
17 * This macro defines an "is_set" boolean field that must be checked
18 * when accessing the optional field. This "is_set" field provides
19 * the semantics that would be expected of a typical "raw pointer" field
20 * which would be checked for NULL.
21 *
22 * Prefer using this macro where "special" values would be used, e.g.
23 * -1ULL for uint64_t types.
24 *

25 * Declaration example:
26 * struct my_struct {
27 * int a;
28 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL(int, b);
29 * };
30 *
31 * Usage example:
32 * struct my_struct foo = LTTNG_OPTIONAL_INIT;
33 *
34 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_SET(&foo.b, 42);
35 * if (foo.b.is_set) {
36 * printf("%d", foo.b.value);
37 * }
38 *
39 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_UNSET(&foo.b);

48 * Alias used for communication structures. If the layout of an LTTNG_OPTIONAL
49 * is changed, the original layout should still be used for communication
50 * purposes.
51 *
52 * LTTNG_OPTIONAL_COMM should be combined with the LTTNG_PACKED macro when
53 * used for IPC / network communication.

61 * Since this returns the 'optional' by value, it is not suitable for all
