INTEL_DISPLA...TATIC_ASSERT(9)

🌸 INTEL_DISPLAY_MEMBER_STATIC_ASSERT(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely so niche but so important, like the way it just quietly keeps your structs from going off the rails? we stan. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

INTEL_DISPLAY_MEMBER_STATIC_ASSERT — the macro that makes sure your drm members and display members are placed correctly, no cap 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

INTEL_DISPLAY_MEMBER_STATIC_ASSERT (type , drm_member , display_member );

like, that's the whole vibe. three args, one job, iconic.

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• type — the struct you want to check 🔍 like, which one are we vibe-checking today
• drm_member — the name of the struct drm_device member 🫶
• display_member — the name of the struct intel_display * member ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so use this static assert macro to make sure the struct drm_i915_private and struct xe_device struct drm_device and struct intel_display * members are all sitting at the same relative offsets. that's it, that's the whole assignment. it's giving compiler-enforced friendship bracelet energy — everybody has to line up in the same spot or the whole thing falls apart. 💀

bestie this is a static assert, so it's doing its little check at compile time — if the members don't line up, you're gonna hear about it. loud. 🔥
