Yes, for names, types and offsets at compile time. Sorry to have not
been specific when asking the question.

Checksum of the individual values during compile time.

The genksyms tool in the Linux kernel sources provides a CRC checksum
of exported functions. I would like to know if something similar can
be done for a structure and its members.

I will look into this.

Thanks for your reply,
