This macro is similar to C++'s static_cast(). It allows a very-limited
set of casts to be performed, but rejects most casts. Basically, it
only allows converting from char to u_char and vice-versa, while
respecting the const qualifier.
See the _Generic(3) manual page for more details and examples.

sizeof() should never be used to get the size of an array. It is
very unsafe, since arrays easily decay to pointers, and sizeof()
applied to a pointer gives false results that compile and produce
silent bugs.
It's better to use nxt_items(), which implements sizeof()
division, which recent compilers warn when used with pointers.
This change would have avoided a bug that we almost introduced
recently by using:
nxt_str_set(&port, (r->tls ? "https://" : "http://"));
which in the macro expansion runs:
(&port)->length = nxt_length((r->tls ? : "https://" : "http://"));
which evaluates to:
port.length = sizeof(r->tls ? "https://" : "http://") - 1;
which evaluates to:
port.length = 8 - 1;
Of course, we didn't want a compile-time-constant 8 there, but
rather the length of the string.

We had a mix of styles for declaring function-like macros:
Style A:
#define \
foo() \
do { \
... \
} while (0)
Style B:
#define foo() \
do { \
... \
} while (0)
We had a similar number of occurences of each style:
$ grep -rnI '^\w*(.*\\' | wc -l
244
$ grep -rn 'define.*(.*)' | wc -l
239
(Those regexes aren't perfect, but a very decent approximation.)
Real examples:
$ find src -type f | xargs sed -n '/^nxt_double_is_zero/,/^$/p'
nxt_double_is_zero(f) \
(fabs(f) <= FLT_EPSILON)
$ find src -type f | xargs sed -n '/define nxt_http_field_set/,/^$/p'
#define nxt_http_field_set(_field, _name, _value) \
do { \
(_field)->name_length = nxt_length(_name); \
(_field)->value_length = nxt_length(_value); \
(_field)->name = (u_char *) _name; \
(_field)->value = (u_char *) _value; \
} while (0)
I'd like to standardize on a single style for them, and IMO,
having the identifier in the same line as #define is a better
option for the following reasons:
- Programmers are used to `#define foo() ...` (readability).
- One less line of code.
- The program for finding them is really simple (see below).
function grep_ngx_func()
{
if (($# != 1)); then
>&2 echo "Usage: ${FUNCNAME[0]} <func>";
return 1;
fi;
find src -type f \
| grep '\.[ch]$' \
| xargs grep -l "$1" \
| sort \
| xargs pcregrep -Mn "(?s)^\$[\w\s*]+?^$1\(.*?^}";
find src -type f \
| grep '\.[ch]$' \
| xargs grep -l "$1" \
| sort \
| xargs pcregrep -Mn "(?s)define $1\(.*?^$" \
| sed -E '1s/^[^:]+:[0-9]+:/&\n\n/';
}
$ grep_ngx_func
Usage: grep_ngx_func <func>
$ grep_ngx_func nxt_http_field_set
src/nxt_http.h:98:
#define nxt_http_field_set(_field, _name, _value) \
do { \
(_field)->name_length = nxt_length(_name); \
(_field)->value_length = nxt_length(_value); \
(_field)->name = (u_char *) _name; \
(_field)->value = (u_char *) _value; \
} while (0)
$ grep_ngx_func nxt_sprintf
src/nxt_sprintf.c:56:
u_char * nxt_cdecl
nxt_sprintf(u_char *buf, u_char *end, const char *fmt, ...)
{
u_char *p;
va_list args;
va_start(args, fmt);
p = nxt_vsprintf(buf, end, fmt, args);
va_end(args);
return p;
}

When testing some configurations of compilers and OSes, I noticed
that clang(1) 13 on Debian caused a function to be compiled but
unused, and the compiler triggered a compile error.
To avoid that error, use __attribute__((__unused__)). Let's call
our wrapper NXT_MAYBE_UNUSED, since it describes itself more
precisely than the GCC attribute name. It's also the name that
C2x (likely C23) has given to the standard attribute, which is
[[maybe_unused]], so it's also likely to be more readable because
of that name being in ISO C.

This method requires as many iterations as there are set bits,
while the previous one has to shift up to the position of the
highest bit.
