[PATCH v6 18/24] dyndbg: macrofy a 2-index for-loop pattern

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-07-08 02:19:04
Also in: dri-devel, linux-arch, linux-doc, lkml
Subsystem: dynamic debug, library code, the rest · Maintainers: Jason Baron, Jim Cromie, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

dynamic-debug currently has 2 __sections (__dyndbg, __dyndb_classes),
struct _ddebug_info keeps track of them both, with 2 members each:
_vec and _vec#_len.

We need to loop over these sections, with index and record pointer,
making ref to both _vec and _vec_len.  This is already fiddly and
error-prone, and will get worse as we add a 3rd section.

Lets instead embed/abstract the fiddly-ness in the `for_subvec()`
macro, and avoid repeating it going forward.

This is a for-loop macro expander, so it syntactically expects to
precede either a single statement or a { block } of them, and the
usual typeof or do-while-0 tricks are unavailable to fix the
multiple-expansion warning.
