Casts are usually very dangerous, disabling most compiler warnings
and basically removing type safety. This change adds 'const' to a
pointer where we don't need to write, improving type safety, and
that also allows removing some casts.
We had a mix of styles for declaring function-like macros:
Style A:
#define \
foo() \
do { \
... \
} while (0)
Style B:
#define foo() \
do { \
... \
} while (0)
We had a similar number of occurences of each style:
$ grep -rnI '^\w*(.*\\' | wc -l
244
$ grep -rn 'define.*(.*)' | wc -l
239
(Those regexes aren't perfect, but a very decent approximation.)
Real examples:
$ find src -type f | xargs sed -n '/^nxt_double_is_zero/,/^$/p'
nxt_double_is_zero(f) \
(fabs(f) <= FLT_EPSILON)
$ find src -type f | xargs sed -n '/define nxt_http_field_set/,/^$/p'
#define nxt_http_field_set(_field, _name, _value) \
do { \
(_field)->name_length = nxt_length(_name); \
(_field)->value_length = nxt_length(_value); \
(_field)->name = (u_char *) _name; \
(_field)->value = (u_char *) _value; \
} while (0)
I'd like to standardize on a single style for them, and IMO,
having the identifier in the same line as #define is a better
option for the following reasons:
- Programmers are used to `#define foo() ...` (readability).
- One less line of code.
- The program for finding them is really simple (see below).
function grep_ngx_func()
{
if (($# != 1)); then
>&2 echo "Usage: ${FUNCNAME[0]} <func>";
return 1;

find src -type f \

find src -type f \
