Module flexible_array

A wrapper for structures that contain flexible arrays.

The following code provides generic helpers for creating and accessing flexible array structs. A complete definition of flexible array structs is found in the ISO 9899 specification http://www.iso-9899.info/n1570.html. A flexible array struct is of the form:

#[repr(C)]
struct T {
   some_data: u32,
   nents: u32,
   entries: __IncompleteArrayField<S>,
}

where:

• T is the flexible array struct type
• S is the flexible array type
• nents is the flexible array length
• entries is the flexible array member

These structures are used by the kernel API.

Structs

Traits

FlexibleArray

A collection of methods that are required by the FlexibleArrayWrapper type.

Functions

The kernel API has many structs that resemble the following Foo structure:
