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