Hi,
I am in the process of learning C and Subversion's internals
and as a prerequisite, I need to understand apr and its pools.
That stated, reading on the apr_pools.h file, I've come across
a docstring that I hope someone here can clarify.
Given the following declaration:
#define APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR(type) \
APR_DECLARE(apr_pool_t *) apr_##type##_pool_get \
(const apr_##type##_t *the##type)
In the docstring above it, it says:
APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR() is used in a header file to declare the
* accessor function. A typical usage and result would be:
* <pre>
* APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR(file);
* becomes:
* APR_DECLARE(apr_pool_t *) apr_file_pool_get(apr_file_t *ob);
* </pre>
Shouldn't APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR(file) become
APR_DECLARE(apr_pool_t *) apr_file_pool_get(apr_file_t *thefile); ?
In other words:
s/ob/thefile/
If that isn't the case, then can someone spare some time
to clarify why *the##type becomes *ob?
Thanks
Edmund
