zt_pack_integer(3)

zt_pack_integer3

Pack an integer into a variant

Usage

#include <zt.h>

zt_value

zt_pack_integer(intmax_t value, const char *source);

Overview

zt_pack_integer packs an integer, as well as the string describing the expression evaluated to obtain it, into a variant-like zt_value. The source argument is retained by the value and is typically a constant string literal produced by the preprocessor.

Implementation notes

zt_pack_integer is only provided as a static inline function.

Return values

The packed value.

Releases

Unchanged in 3 releases since Debian 11 (Bullseye).

History

zt_pack_integer first appeared in libzt 0.1

In libzt 0.3 the type of the first argument changed to intmax_t, to accommodate for wider values. The resulting value structure encodes the new corresponding kind, ZT_INTMAX. Note that zt_value objects created by programs compiled with earlier versions of libzt are still valid and are internally promoted to the wider type.
