Subject: container_of in systemtap scripts
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:16:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100118131557.GA4127@basil.fritz.box> (raw)

Hi,

systemtap 1.1 works nicely.

But I find myself writing embedded C when I need container_of(), which 
is needed to access more and more data structures in the kernel.

The code to do that looks rather ugly unfortunately.

@cast doesn't support that. Are there any other clean ways
to write container_of() natively or are there plans to extend cast to include
an offset?

Thanks,

-Andi
