/**
* @file
* @brief Macros to generate structure member offset definitions
*
* This header contains macros to allow a nanokernel implementation to
* generate absolute symbols whose values represents the member offsets for
* various nanokernel structures. These absolute symbols are typically
* utilized by assembly source files rather than hardcoding the values in
* some local header file.
*
* WARNING: Absolute symbols can potentially be utilized by external tools --
* for example, to locate a specific field within a data structure.
* Consequently, changes made to such symbols may require modifications to the
* associated tool(s). Typically, relocating a member of a structure merely
* requires that a tool be rebuilt; however, moving a member to another
* structure (or to a new sub-structure within an existing structure) may
* require that the tool itself be modified. Likewise, deleting, renaming, or
* changing the meaning of an absolute symbol may require modifications to a
* tool.
*
* The macro "GEN_OFFSET_SYM(structure, member)" is used to generate a single
* absolute symbol. The absolute symbol will appear in the object module
* generated from the source file that utilizes the GEN_OFFSET_SYM() macro.
* Absolute symbols representing a structure member offset have the following
* form:
*
* __<structure>_<member>_OFFSET
*
* This header also defines the GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM macro to simply define an
* absolute symbol, irrespective of whether the value represents a structure
* or offset.
*
* The following sample file illustrates the usage of the macros available
* in this file:
*
* <START of sample source file: offsets.c>
*
* #include <gen_offset.h>
* /@ include struct definitions for which offsets symbols are to be
* generated @/
*
* #include <nano_private.h>
* GEN_ABS_SYM_BEGIN (_OffsetAbsSyms) /@ the name parameter is arbitrary @/
* /@ tNANO structure member offsets @/
*
* GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, fiber);
* GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, task);
* GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, current);
* GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, nested);
* GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, common_isp);
*
* GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM (__tNANO_SIZEOF, sizeof(tNANO));
*
* GEN_ABS_SYM_END
* <END of sample source file: offsets.c>
*
* Compiling the sample offsets.c results in the following symbols in offsets.o:
*
* $ nm offsets.o
* 00000010 A __tNANO_common_isp_OFFSET
* 00000008 A __tNANO_current_OFFSET
* 0000000c A __tNANO_nested_OFFSET
* 00000000 A __tNANO_fiber_OFFSET
* 00000004 A __tNANO_task_OFFSET
