container_of宏

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stddef.h>

#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({             /
         const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr);     /
         (type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})

struct test1
{
    char *pchar ;
    int idata ;
    int *pint ;
};

 

int main()
{
    struct test1 ptest1 ;
    int *p1 = ptest1.pint ;
    printf("the address of ptest1 is %p/n", &ptest1) ;
    printf("the address of p1 is %p/n", p1) ;
    ptest1.pint = 0x55555555 ;
    printf("offsetof(struct test1, pint)=%d/n", offsetof(struct test1, pint)) ;
    printf("container_of(p1, struct test1, pint) = %p/n", container_of(p1, struct test1, pint)) ;  //1
    printf("containerof(ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)=%p/n", container_of(&ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)) ;  //2

    printf("containerof(ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)=%p/n", container_of(ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)) ;    //3
    return 0 ;
}

 

container_of的作用在于，给定某结构体中字段的地址，能够获取该结构体的起始地址。比如上面的例子中示例2。

the address of ptest1 is 0xbfe5ce38
the address of p1 is 0xb7faeff4
offsetof(struct test1, pint)=8
container_of(p1, struct test1, pint) = 0xb7faefec      //p1的地址往前移8个字节
containerof(&ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)=0xbfe5ce38    //使用&ptest1.pint作为第一个参数，获得ptest1的地址
containerof(ptest1.pint, struct test1, pint)=0x5555554d    //使用ptest1.pint做第一个参数，只是在该地址的基础上前移8个字节

-------&ptest1.pint是字段的地址，ptest1.pint是字段的值，该值是一个地址。
