72 * What is going on with linked lists? (!)
73 * First recall the link list declaration from pmap_prot.h:
74 *
75 * struct pmaplist {
76 * struct pmap pml_map;
77 * struct pmaplist *pml_map;
78 * };
79 *
80 * Compare that declaration with a corresponding xdr declaration that
81 * is (a) pointer-less, and (b) recursive:
82 *
83 * typedef union switch (bool_t) {
84 *
85 * case TRUE: struct {
86 * struct pmap;
87 * pmaplist_t foo;
88 * };
89 *
90 * case FALSE: struct {};
91 * } pmaplist_t;
92 *
93 * Notice that the xdr declaration has no nxt pointer while
94 * the C declaration has no bool_t variable. The bool_t can be
95 * interpreted as ``more data follows me''; if FALSE then nothing
96 * follows this bool_t; if TRUE then the bool_t is followed by
97 * an actual struct pmap, and then (recursively) by the
98 * xdr union, pamplist_t.
99 *
100 * This could be implemented via the xdr_union primitive, though this
101 * would cause a one recursive call per element in the list. Rather than do
102 * that we can ``unwind'' the recursion
103 * into a while loop and do the union arms in-place.
104 *
105 * The head of the list is what the C programmer wishes to past around
106 * the net, yet is the data that the pointer points to which is interesting;
107 * this sounds like a job for xdr_reference!
