6/**
7 * check_type - issue a warning or build failure if type is not correct.
8 * @expr: the expression whose type we should check (not evaluated).
9 * @type: the exact type we expect the expression to be.
10 *
11 * This macro is usually used within other macros to try to ensure that a macro
12 * argument is of the expected type. No type promotion of the expression is
13 * done: an unsigned int is not the same as an int!
14 *
15 * check_type() always evaluates to 0.
16 *
17 * If your compiler does not support typeof, then the best we can do is fail
18 * to compile if the sizes of the types are unequal (a less complete check).
19 *
20 * Example:
21 * // They should always pass a 64-bit value to _set_some_value!
22 * #define set_some_value(expr) \
23 * _set_some_value((check_type((expr), uint64_t), (expr)))

27 * check_types_match - issue a warning or build failure if types are not same.
28 * @expr1: the first expression (not evaluated).
29 * @expr2: the second expression (not evaluated).
30 *
31 * This macro is usually used within other macros to try to ensure that
32 * arguments are of identical types. No type promotion of the expressions is
33 * done: an unsigned int is not the same as an int!

37 * If your compiler does not support typeof, then the best we can do is fail
38 * to compile if the sizes of the types are unequal (a less complete check).
39 *
40 * Example:
41 * // Do subtraction to get to enclosing type, but make sure that
42 * // pointer is of correct type for that member.
43 * #define container_of(mbr_ptr, encl_type, mbr) \
44 * (check_types_match((mbr_ptr), &((encl_type *)0)->mbr), \
45 * ((encl_type *) \
46 * ((char *)(mbr_ptr) - offsetof(enclosing_type, mbr))))
