用于内存对齐,n为2的幂。

第四十七题

Most of the C programming books, give the following example for the definition of macros.
#define isupper(c) (((c) >= 'A') && ((c) <= 'Z'))
But there would be a serious problem with the above definition of macro, if it is used as follows (what is the problem??)
char c;
/* ... */
if(isupper(c++))
{
/* ... */
}
But most of the libraries implement the isupper (declared in ctypes.h) as a macro (without any side effects). Find out how isupper() is implemented on your system.
知识点讲解:
Linux内核中isupper的实现见lib/ctype.c和include/linux/ctype.h。
ctype.h代码如下:
#ifndef _LINUX_CTYPE_H
#define _LINUX_CTYPE_H /*
* NOTE! This ctype does not handle EOF like the standard C
* library is required to.
*/ #define _U 0x01 /* upper */
#define _L 0x02 /* lower */
#define _D 0x04 /* digit */
#define _C 0x08 /* cntrl */
#define _P 0x10 /* punct */
#define _S 0x20 /* white space (space/lf/tab) */
#define _X 0x40 /* hex digit */
#define _SP 0x80 /* hard space (0x20) */ extern const unsigned char _ctype[]; #define __ismask(x) (_ctype[(int)(unsigned char)(x)]) #define isalnum(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_U|_L|_D)) != 0)
#define isalpha(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_U|_L)) != 0)
#define iscntrl(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_C)) != 0)
#define isdigit(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_D)) != 0)
#define isgraph(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_P|_U|_L|_D)) != 0)
#define islower(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_L)) != 0)
#define isprint(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_P|_U|_L|_D|_SP)) != 0)
#define ispunct(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_P)) != 0)
/* Note: isspace() must return false for %NUL-terminator */
#define isspace(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_S)) != 0)
#define isupper(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_U)) != 0)
#define isxdigit(c) ((__ismask(c)&(_D|_X)) != 0) #define isascii(c) (((unsigned char)(c))<=0x7f)
#define toascii(c) (((unsigned char)(c))&0x7f) static inline unsigned char __tolower(unsigned char c)
{
if (isupper(c))
c -= 'A'-'a';
return c;
} static inline unsigned char __toupper(unsigned char c)
{
if (islower(c))
c -= 'a'-'A';
return c;
} #define tolower(c) __tolower(c)
#define toupper(c) __toupper(c) #endif
ctype.c代码如下:
/*
* linux/lib/ctype.c

* Copyright (C) 1991, 1992 Linus Torvalds

#include <linux/module.h> const unsigned char _ctype[] = {

_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_P,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L,_L}; /* 240-255 */ EXPORT_SYMBOL(_ctype);
_ctype数组中的每个元素的值对应ASCII码为0-255的每个字符的类型,以字符的ASCII码为索引即可获取到相应字符的类型。

第四十八题

I hope you know that ellipsis (...) is used to specify variable number of arguments to a function. (What is the function prototype declaration for printf?) What is wrong with the following delcaration?
int VarArguments(...)
{
/*....*/
return ;
}
知识点讲解:
对于带有不定参数的函数,用va_start,va_arg,va_end对参数进行索引,内核代码中va_*系列函数的实现在
include/acpi/platform/acenv.h中
#ifndef va_arg

#ifndef _VALIST
#define _VALIST
typedef char *va_list;
#endif /* _VALIST */ /*
* Storage alignment properties
*/
#define _AUPBND (sizeof (acpi_native_int) - 1)
#define _ADNBND (sizeof (acpi_native_int) - 1) /*
* Variable argument list macro definitions
*/
#define _bnd(X, bnd) (((sizeof (X)) + (bnd)) & (~(bnd)))
#define va_arg(ap, T) (*(T *)(((ap) += (_bnd (T, _AUPBND))) - (_bnd (T,_ADNBND))))
#define va_end(ap) (void) 0
#define va_start(ap, A) (void) ((ap) = (((char *) &(A)) + (_bnd (A,_AUPBND)))) #endif /* va_arg */
由如上定义可知,va_start返回第一个不定参数的地址,va_arg返回下一个不定参数的地址,va_end用来销毁ap。
va_start和va_end总是成对使用。
va_start获取第一个不定参数的地址时,必须知道最后一个固定参数A的地址,即函数必须提供至少一个固定参数。
故定义形如VarArguments(...)的函数是不正确的。

第四十九题

Write a C program to find the smallest of three integers, without using any of the comparision operators.
题目讲解:
参考:
http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/smallest-of-three-integers-without-comparison-operators/
方法一:
int smallest(int x, int y, int z)
{
int c = ;
while ( x && y && z )
{
x--; y--; z--; c++;
}
return c;
}
方法二:
#define CHAR_BIT 8

/*Function to find minimum of x and y*/
int min(int x, int y)
{
return y + ((x - y) & ((x - y) >>
(sizeof(int) * CHAR_BIT - )));
} /* Function to find minimum of 3 numbers x, y and z*/
int smallest(int x, int y, int z)
{
return min(x, min(y, z));
}
方法三:
// Using division operator to find minimum of three numbers
int smallest(int x, int y, int z)
{
if (!(y/x)) // Same as "if (y < x)"
return (!(y/z))? y : z;
return (!(x/z))? x : z;
}
