A query about typeof

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I see following code in kfifo.h

typeof((fifo) + 1) __tmp = (fifo);
[http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.1.6/include/linux/kfifo.h#L334]

I do not understand this specific code construct. Why is it necessary
to add 1 to fifo before getting its type?
Is it related to some 'C' magic?
