53 * What is going on with linked lists? (!)
54 * First recall the link list declaration from pmap_prot.h:
57 * struct pmap pml_map;
58 * struct pmaplist *pml_map;
61 * Compare that declaration with a corresponding xdr declaration that
62 * is (a) pointer-less, and (b) recursive:
64 * typedef union switch (bool_t) {
71 * case FALSE: struct {};
74 * Notice that the xdr declaration has no nxt pointer while
75 * the C declaration has no bool_t variable. The bool_t can be
76 * interpreted as ``more data follows me''; if FALSE then nothing
77 * follows this bool_t; if TRUE then the bool_t is followed by
78 * an actual struct pmap, and then (recursively) by the
79 * xdr union, pamplist_t.
81 * This could be implemented via the xdr_union primitive, though this
82 * would cause a one recursive call per element in the list. Rather than do
83 * that we can ``unwind'' the recursion
84 * into a while loop and do the union arms in-place.
86 * The head of the list is what the C programmer wishes to past around
87 * the net, yet is the data that the pointer points to which is interesting;
88 * this sounds like a job for xdr_reference!
