- * @ingroup object
- * @defgroup object_api Object API
- * @brief
- *
- * @par 1) Object Definition
- * @code
- * // Define your object starting with the common object header
- * struct my_obj {
- * NLHDR_COMMON
- * int my_data;
- * };
- *
- * // Fill out the object operations structure
- * struct nl_object_ops my_ops = {
- * .oo_name = "my_obj",
- * .oo_size = sizeof(struct my_obj),
- * };
- *
- * // At this point the object can be allocated, you may want to provide a
- * // separate _alloc() function to ease allocting objects of this kind.
- * struct nl_object *obj = nl_object_alloc(&my_ops);
- *
- * // And release it again...
- * nl_object_put(obj);
- * @endcode
- *
- * @par 2) Allocating additional data
- * @code
- * // You may require to allocate additional data and store it inside
- * // object, f.e. assuming there is a field `ptr'.
- * struct my_obj {
- * NLHDR_COMMON
- * void * ptr;
- * };
- *
- * // And at some point you may assign allocated data to this field:
- * my_obj->ptr = calloc(1, ...);
- *
- * // In order to not introduce any memory leaks you have to release
- * // this data again when the last reference is given back.
- * static void my_obj_free_data(struct nl_object *obj)
- * {
- * struct my_obj *my_obj = nl_object_priv(obj);
- *
- * free(my_obj->ptr);
- * }
- *
- * // Also when the object is cloned, you must ensure for your pointer
- * // stay valid even if one of the clones is freed by either making
- * // a clone as well or increase the reference count.
- * static int my_obj_clone(struct nl_object *src, struct nl_object *dst)
- * {
- * struct my_obj *my_src = nl_object_priv(src);
- * struct my_obj *my_dst = nl_object_priv(dst);
- *
- * if (src->ptr) {
- * dst->ptr = calloc(1, ...);
- * memcpy(dst->ptr, src->ptr, ...);
- * }
- * }
- *
- * struct nl_object_ops my_ops = {
- * ...
- * .oo_free_data = my_obj_free_data,
- * .oo_clone = my_obj_clone,
- * };
- * @endcode
- *
- * @par 3) Object Dumping
- * @code
- * static int my_obj_dump_detailed(struct nl_object *obj,
- * struct nl_dump_params *params)
- * {
- * struct my_obj *my_obj = nl_object_priv(obj);
- *
- * // It is absolutely essential to use nl_dump() when printing
- * // any text to make sure the dumping parameters are respected.
- * nl_dump(params, "Obj Integer: %d\n", my_obj->my_int);
- *
- * // Before we can dump the next line, make sure to prefix
- * // this line correctly.
- * nl_new_line(params);
- *
- * // You may also split a line into multiple nl_dump() calls.
- * nl_dump(params, "String: %s ", my_obj->my_string);
- * nl_dump(params, "String-2: %s\n", my_obj->another_string);
- * }
- *
- * struct nl_object_ops my_ops = {
- * ...
- * .oo_dump[NL_DUMP_FULL] = my_obj_dump_detailed,
- * };
- * @endcode
- *
- * @par 4) Object Attributes
- * @code
- * // The concept of object attributes is optional but can ease the typical
- * // case of objects that have optional attributes, e.g. a route may have a
- * // nexthop assigned but it is not required to.
- *
- * // The first step to define your object specific bitmask listing all
- * // attributes
- * #define MY_ATTR_FOO (1<<0)
- * #define MY_ATTR_BAR (1<<1)
- *
- * // When assigning an optional attribute to the object, make sure
- * // to mark its availability.
- * my_obj->foo = 123123;
- * my_obj->ce_mask |= MY_ATTR_FOO;
- *
- * // At any time you may use this mask to check for the availability
- * // of the attribute, e.g. while dumping
- * if (my_obj->ce_mask & MY_ATTR_FOO)
- * nl_dump(params, "foo %d ", my_obj->foo);
- *
- * // One of the big advantages of this concept is that it allows for
- * // standardized comparisons which make it trivial for caches to
- * // identify unique objects by use of unified comparison functions.
- * // In order for it to work, your object implementation must provide
- * // a comparison function and define a list of attributes which
- * // combined together make an object unique.
- *
- * static int my_obj_compare(struct nl_object *_a, struct nl_object *_b,
- * uint32_t attrs, int flags)
- * {
- * struct my_obj *a = nl_object_priv(_a):
- * struct my_obj *b = nl_object_priv(_b):
- * int diff = 0;
- *
- * // We help ourselves in defining our own DIFF macro which will
- * // call ATTR_DIFF() on both objects which will make sure to only
- * // compare the attributes if required.
- * #define MY_DIFF(ATTR, EXPR) ATTR_DIFF(attrs, MY_ATTR_##ATTR, a, b, EXPR)
- *
- * // Call our own diff macro for each attribute to build a bitmask
- * // representing the attributes which mismatch.
- * diff |= MY_DIFF(FOO, a->foo != b->foo)
- * diff |= MY_DIFF(BAR, strcmp(a->bar, b->bar))
- *
- * return diff;
- * }
- *
- * // In order to identify identical objects with differing attributes
- * // you must specify the attributes required to uniquely identify
- * // your object. Make sure to not include too many attributes, this
- * // list is used when caches look for an old version of an object.
- * struct nl_object_ops my_ops = {
- * ...
- * .oo_id_attrs = MY_ATTR_FOO,
- * .oo_compare = my_obj_compare,
- * };
