There's a neat trick I found in seqlock.h:
#define generic_container_of(in_t, in, out_t, m) \ _Generic(*(in), \ const in_t: ((const out_t *)container_of(in, out_t, m)), \ in_t: ((out_t *)container_of(in, out_type, m)) \ )
and now it fits in 80 columns ;-)
Aside from less letters, is their another benifit to using *(in) ?
