20 /* Helper macro to declare and initialize libbpf options struct
22 * This dance with uninitialized declaration, followed by memset to zero,
23 * followed by assignment using compound literal syntax is done to preserve
24 * ability to use a nice struct field initialization syntax and **hopefully**
25 * have all the padding bytes initialized to zero. It's not guaranteed though,
26 * when copying literal, that compiler won't copy garbage in literal's padding
27 * bytes, but that's the best way I've found and it seems to work in practice.
29 * Macro declares opts struct of given type and name, zero-initializes,
30 * including any extra padding, it with memset() and then assigns initial
31 * values provided by users in struct initializer-syntax as varargs.
