39 * This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
40 * array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
41 * generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
42 * around this one.
43 *
44 * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.
45 *
46 * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
47 *
48 * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
49 * entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
50 * file and cannot be retrieved by name.
51 *
52 * 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
53 * a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
54 * it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
55 *
56 * 3) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
57 * AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
58 * elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
59 * the inner sections are present in the array.
60 *
61 * Example:
62 *
63 * ::
64 *
65 * ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub) = {
66 * .x = 3,
67 * .y = 4,
68 * };
