Macro
#define LFDS711_LIST_ASU_GET_START_AND_THEN_NEXT( list_asu_state, pointer_to_list_asu_element )
Parameters
list_asu_state
- A struct lfds711_list_asu_state. Not a pointer to it - the struct itself.
pointer_to_list_asu_element
- A pointer to struct lfds711_list_asu_element. This is and only is a pointer - it's not the address of an actual, allocated struct.
Return Value
If pointer_to_list_element is NULL, returns (and sets pointer_to_list_element to be the same value) a struct lfds711_list_asu_element * to the first element in the list.
If pointer_to_list_element is not NULL, returns (and sets pointer_to_list_element to be the same value) a struct lfds711_list_asu_element * to the element after the list element *pointer_to_list_element.
Notes
As with all liblfds macros, the macro operates on the structure itself, not a pointer to it.
This is a convenience macro, expected use is in the conditional part of while loops. If the element argument is NULL, then the macro returns (and sets the element pointer to be) the first element; if it is non-NULL (and then should be a pointer to an element in the list), then the macro returns (and sets the element pointer to be) the next element in the list, eventully returning (and setting the element pointer to be) NULL, which causes the while loop to finish.
