Maybe stick to consistent naming. Either "list" or "set" seems to be appropriate. Set implies a sorted aspect a bit more, IMO. > +asm( \ > +".pushsection " SECTION ",\"a\"; \n" \ > +".global " #name "; \n" \ I was expecting to see reserved 4 bytes for list size? I also couldn't find where btfids tool prepends it. From what I could understand, it just assumed the first 4 bytes are the length prefix?
