'nitems()' calculates the length of an array in number of items.
It is safe: if a pointer is passed to the macro (or function, in C++),
the compilation is broken due to:
- In >= C11: _Static_assert()
- In C89, C99: Negative anonymous bitfield
- In C++: The template requires an array
'snitems()' is equivalent to nitems(),
but it returns a 'ptrdiff_t' instead of a 'size_t'.
It is useful for comparison with signed integer values.
Some BSDs already provide a macro nitems() in <sys/param.h>,
although it usually doesn't provide safety against pointers.
This patch uses the same name for compatibility reasons,
and to be the least disruptive with existing code.
This patch also adds some other macros, which are required by 'nitems()':
__is_same_type(_A, _B):
Returns non-zero if the two input arguments are of the same type.
__is_array(_Arr):
Returns non-zero if the input argument is of an array type.
__must_be(_Expr, _Msg):
Allows using _Static_assert() everywhere an expression can be used.
It evaluates '(int)0' or breaks the compilation.
__must_be_array(_Arr):
It evaluates to '(int)0' if the argument is of an array type.
Else, it breaks compilation.
__array_len(_Arr):
It implements the basic sizeof division needed to calculate the array length.
P.S.: I'd like to put this patch in the public domain.

[[ CC += linux-man ]]
A few more things:
I copied the contents of this patch into my system <sys/param.h>
and recompiled my projects to use these definitions, and they worked correctly.
A few more notes:
For linux-man (which is CC'd):
When/if this patch is accepted, I'll write nitems.3 (and snitems.3).
For LKML (which is CC'd):
Please comment if there are any conflicts with your macro '__must_be_array()'
(or any other conflicts, BTW).
Cheers,
Alex

I patched my own system's <sys/param.h> with this,
and while 'nitems()' works fine,
I had to include <stddef.h> in my main.c to be able to use 'snitems()',
because I didn't have 'ptrdiff_t',
eventhough <sys/param.h> already includes <stddef.h>.
I completely ignore the mechanisms behind system headers including
other system headers.
Moreover, I didn't find 'ptrdiff_t' defined in any of my systems headers
I used 'user@debian:/usr/include$ grep -rn ptrdiff_t'. Does GCC do magic?
What's the problem with that? How should I fix the patch?
My system: Debian bullseye/sid; x86-64; gcc 10; libc 2.31-3

Do you really need to provide snitems?
Users can use (ptrdiff_t)nitems if needed, can't they?
C++ provides std::ssize because there are reasons to want it in
generic contexts when using the function on arbitrary container-like
objects. But for an array size you know that ptrdiff_t is wide enough
to represent the size of any array.
Do you have a use case that requries snitems, or can you assume YAGNI?

They can, but that adds casts in the code,
which makes longer lines that are somewhat harder to read.
To avoid that, users may sometimes omit the cast with possible UB.
BTW, I use
IMO, array indices should be declared as 'ptrdiff_t' always,
and not 'size_t'. More generically, I use unsigned integer types for two
reasons: bitwise operations, and library functions that require me to
do so.
I don't intend to force anyone with my opinion, of course,
but if I were to choose a type for 'nitems()', it would be 'ptrdiff_t'.
However, for legacy reasons people will expect that macro to be unsigned,
so I'd have 'nitems()' unsigned, and then a signed version prefixed with
an 's'.

I guess that might be the reason they added std::ssize, BTW.

I have a few use cases:
1)
int alx_gnuplot_set_style (struct Alx_Gnuplot *restrict gnuplot,
int style, const char *restrict opt)
{
if (style < 0 || style >= ARRAY_SSIZE(styles))
return -1;
if (alx_strlcpys(gnuplot->style, styles[style],
ARRAY_SIZE(gnuplot->style), NULL))
return -1;
if (opt)
return alx_strbcatf(gnuplot->style, NULL, " %s", opt);
return 0;
}
[https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/libalx/blob/master/src/extra/plot/setup.c]
2) I have many loops that access arrays; I'll just make up an example of
how I normally access arrays:
void foo(ptrdiff_t nmemb)
{
int arr[nmemb];
for (ptrdiff_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SSIZE(arr); i++)
arr[i] = i;
}
Grepping through my code,
I have a similar number of ARRAY_SIZE() and ARRAY_SSIZE().
I could have '#define snitems(arr) ((ptrdiff_t)nitems(arr))' in my projects,
but is it really necessary?
Did I convince you? :-)

Alex

Yes, I'm aware of all the rationale. I already said that it makes
sense in C++ where you have generic code. I am not convinced that it's
necessary to add to <sys/param.h> when all it does is a cast from
size_t to ptrdiff_t.

The barrier for adding something to glibc headers should be a LOT
higher than "I could [do it in my own code], but is it really
necessary?"

No.

While I would prefer a signed version, I could live with only
'nitems()'. Having all the __must_be_array thing is the most important
part.

Well, you convinced me :)
I'll rewrite the patch, and the problem about <stddef.h> will vanish.

'nitems()' calculates the length of an array in number of items.
It is safe: if a pointer is passed to the macro (or function, in C++),
the compilation is broken due to:
- In >= C11: _Static_assert()
- In C89, C99: Negative anonymous bitfield
- In C++: The template requires an array
Some BSDs already provide a macro nitems() in <sys/param.h>,
although it usually doesn't provide safety against pointers.
This patch uses the same name for compatibility reasons,
and to be the least disruptive with existing code.
This patch also adds some other macros, which are required by 'nitems()':
__is_same_type(_A, _B):
Returns non-zero if the two input arguments are of the same type.
__is_array(_Arr):
Returns non-zero if the input argument is of an array type.
__must_be(_Expr, _Msg):
Allows using _Static_assert() everywhere an expression can be used.
It evaluates '(int)0' or breaks the compilation.
__must_be_array(_Arr):
It evaluates to '(int)0' if the argument is of an array type.
Else, it breaks compilation.
__array_len(_Arr):
It implements the basic sizeof division needed to calculate the array length.
P.S.: I'd like to put this patch in the public domain.
