Macro Definition Documentation

ein_internal_linkage

#define ein_internal_linkage

[[internal_linkage]]

Changes the linkage type of the declaration to internal. This is similar to C-style static, but can be used on classes and class methods. When applied to a class definition, this attribute affects all methods and static data members of that class. This can be used to contain the ABI of a C++ library by excluding unwanted class methods from the export tables.

probably subsumed by ein_visibility("hidden")

ein_preferred_name

#define ein_preferred_name

(

__x

)

portable [[clang::preferred_name(x)]] annotations

Can be applied to a template struct to provide better names for some concrete instantiations

Definition at line 309 of file common.hpp.

ein_weak

#define ein_weak

[[weak]]

used to generate a symbol that can be easily overriden by the linker.
