Hi,
I was studying the Linux wireless subsystem code and noticed this code (in ieee80211_rx_handlers):
It first defines the macro:
#define CALL_RXH(rxh) \
do { \
res = rxh(rx); \
if (res != RX_CONTINUE) \
goto rxh_next; \
} while (0);
Then the macro is used to call a series of functions:
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_check_more_data)
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_uapsd_and_pspoll)
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_sta_process)
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt)
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_defragment)
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_michael_mic_verify)
My question is, why not just call the functions directly like:
ieee80211_rx_h_check_more_data(rx);
ieee80211_rx_h_uapsd_and_pspoll(rx);
...
Is it just for the sake of outlining the code for easy reading? Appreciate if anyone can explain. Thanks!
Regards,
Fred
