Functions

void apr_dynamic_fn_register (const char *szName, apr_opt_fn_t *pfn)

Detailed Description

Typesafe registration and retrieval of functions that may not be present (i.e. functions exported by optional modules)

Macro Definition Documentation

#define APR_DECLARE_OPTIONAL_FN (   ret,
  name,
  args 
)    typedef ret (APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name)) args

Declare an optional function.

Parameters
retThe return type of the function
nameThe name of the function
argsThe function arguments (including brackets)
#define APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE (   name)    apr_OFN_##name##_t

The type of an optional function.

Parameters
nameThe name of the function
#define APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN (   name)
Value:
do { \
APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name) *apu__opt = name; \
apr_dynamic_fn_register(#name,(apr_opt_fn_t *)apu__opt); \
} while (0)
void( apr_opt_fn_t)(void)
Definition: apr_optional.h:59
#define APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name)
Definition: apr_optional.h:42

Register an optional function. This can be later retrieved, type-safely, by name. Like all global functions, the name must be unique. Note that, confusingly but correctly, the function itself can be static!

Parameters
nameThe name of the function
#define APR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN (   name)    (APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name) *)apr_dynamic_fn_retrieve(#name)

Retrieve an optional function. Returns NULL if the function is not present.

Parameters
nameThe name of the function
