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 ;-)
Nice trick! Dropping the inline functions is a bit different, let me see if that still gives a sane error if we pass an incorrect type or mess with the const * the wrong way. I'll run some tests tomorrow afternoon...
