16 * This allows to enable gcc's -Wunused messages.
18 * This gcc option can print warnings that can not be avoided easily. For
19 * example when using an array of (structures containing) function pointers.
20 * If not all the functions (handlers) use all arguments, gcc will print
23 * Marking those few unused function parameters with \p __a_unused to supress
24 * the gcc warnings allows us to get a clean build _and_ the benefit of the
25 * warning in other cases where we do care about unused parameters.

64 * A variant of static inline that requires the object being documented.
66 * If doxygen finds the \p static keyword in any context, that part will not be
67 * included in the documentation. However, we want static inline functions in
68 * header files to be documented while static functions in C files and
69 * statically declared variables should be left out. As a workaround for this
70 * flaw we use \p _static_inline_ for static inline functions declared in
73 #define _static_inline_ static inline
76 * On systems whihout large file support (BSD) there is no * struct stat64 and
