implicit declaration of function ‘typeof’

我用gcc编译，有std=c99选项。

出现
mylist.c:88: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘typeof’
mylist.c:88: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token
mylist.c:88: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token
mylist.c:91: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token
mylist.c:91: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token

感觉GCC将typeof当做了函数，而非关键字，而
list_for_each_entry 的定义为。

/**
 * list_for_each_entry    -    iterate over list of given type
 * @pos:    the type * to use as a loop counter.
 * @head:    the head for your list.
 * @member:    the name of the list_struct within the struct.
 */
 #define list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)                \
     for (pos = list_entry((head)->next,typeof(*pos), member); \
        &pos->member != (head);                               \
             pos = list_entry(pos->member.next, typeof(*pos), member))

mylist第88行的内容
cat mylist.c |sed -n '87,95p'
       

printf("traversing the list using list_for_each_entry()\n");
        list_for_each_entry(tmp, &mylist.list, list){
                 printf("to= %d from= %d\n", tmp->to, tmp->from);
        }
        list_for_each_entry(tmp,&mylist.list,list){
                if(tmp->to == 2)
                        break;
        }

这个例子也就是linux内核里面的链表遍历。

如果将std=c99选项去掉的话，就可以编译通过。

答案隐藏在C99的编译选项，由于typeof是GCC的扩展，并不在C99标准中，参见gcc的文档

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Typeof.html

The typeof keyword is disabled by default when building with -std=c99
as it's a GNU extension, make it known that it's an extension by using
the underscore-enclosed variant.

The underscore-encosed keyword is accepted by GCC without requesting
extensions to the C99 standard, while the simpler typeof() keyword
requires GNU extensions to the C99 standard to be explicitly requested
(e.g.: by using the -fasm option).

ICC supports the __typeof__ keyword as well as typeof.

如果要启用该扩展，应该用编译选项 std=gnu99即可。
