/**
 * @file
 * @brief Macros to generate structure member offset definitions
 *
 * This header contains macros to allow a nanokernel implementation to
 * generate absolute symbols whose values represents the member offsets for
 * various nanokernel structures.  These absolute symbols are typically
 * utilized by assembly source files rather than hardcoding the values in
 * some local header file.
 *
 * WARNING: Absolute symbols can potentially be utilized by external tools --
 * for example, to locate a specific field within a data structure.
 * Consequently, changes made to such symbols may require modifications to the
 * associated tool(s). Typically, relocating a member of a structure merely
 * requires that a tool be rebuilt; however, moving a member to another
 * structure (or to a new sub-structure within an existing structure) may
 * require that the tool itself be modified. Likewise, deleting, renaming, or
 * changing the meaning of an absolute symbol may require modifications to a
 * tool.
 *
 * The macro "GEN_OFFSET_SYM(structure, member)" is used to generate a single
 * absolute symbol.  The absolute symbol will appear in the object module
 * generated from the source file that utilizes the GEN_OFFSET_SYM() macro.
 * Absolute symbols representing a structure member offset have the following
 * form:
 *
 *    __<structure>_<member>_OFFSET
 *
 * This header also defines the GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM macro to simply define an
 * absolute symbol, irrespective of whether the value represents a structure
 * or offset.
 *
 * The following sample file illustrates the usage of the macros available
 * in this file:
 *
 *	<START of sample source file: offsets.c>
 *
 * #include <gen_offset.h>
 * /@ include struct definitions for which offsets symbols are to be
 * generated @/
 *
 * #include <nano_private.h>
 * GEN_ABS_SYM_BEGIN (_OffsetAbsSyms)	/@ the name parameter is arbitrary @/
 * /@ tNANO structure member offsets @/
 *
 * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, fiber);
 * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, task);
 * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, current);
 * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, nested);
 * GEN_OFFSET_SYM (tNANO, common_isp);
 *
 * GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM (__tNANO_SIZEOF, sizeof(tNANO));
 *
 * GEN_ABS_SYM_END
 * <END of sample source file: offsets.c>
 *
 * Compiling the sample offsets.c results in the following symbols in offsets.o:
 *
 * $ nm offsets.o
 * 00000010 A __tNANO_common_isp_OFFSET
 * 00000008 A __tNANO_current_OFFSET
 * 0000000c A __tNANO_nested_OFFSET
 * 00000000 A __tNANO_fiber_OFFSET
 * 00000004 A __tNANO_task_OFFSET
