DESCRIPTION

20       A macro equivalent exists for each function call.   Because  the  macro
21       forms  are sometimes faster and have a simpler error handling interface
22       than the equivalent functions, they are the preferred  way  of  calling
23       the  JudySL  functions.  See JudySL(3) for more information.  The func‐
24       tion call definitions are included here for completeness.
25
26       One of the difficulties in using the  JudySL  function  calls  lies  in
27       determining  whether  to  pass  a  pointer or the address of a pointer.
28       Since the functions that modify the JudySL array must also  modify  the
29       pointer  to  the JudySL array, you must pass the address of the pointer
30       rather than the pointer itself.  This often leads to hard-to-debug pro‐
31       grammatic  errors.  In practice, the macros allow the compiler to catch
32       programming errors when pointers instead of addresses of  pointers  are
33       passed.
34
35       The  JudySL  function  calls  have an additional parameter beyond those
36       specified in the macro calls.  This parameter is either a pointer to an
37       error  structure, or NULL (in which case the detailed error information
38       is not returned).
39
40       In the following descriptions, the functions are described in terms  of
41       how  the  macros use them (only in the case of #define JUDYERROR_NOTEST
42       1).  This is the suggested use of the macros  after  your  program  has
43       been fully debugged.  When the JUDYERROR_NOTEST macro is not specified,
44       an error structure is declared to store error information returned from
45       the JudySL functions when an error occurs.
46
47       Notice the placement of the & in the different functions.

89       Definitions  for  all  the Judy functions, the types Pvoid_t, Pcvoid_t,
90       PPvoid_t,  Word_t  ,  JError_t,  and  PJError_t,  the  constants  NULL,
91       JU_ERRNO_*,  JERR,  PPJERR,  and PJE0 are provided in the Judy.h header
92       file (/usr/include/Judy.h).  Note:  Callers should define JudySL arrays
93       as  type  Pvoid_t,  which can be passed by value to functions that take
94       Pcvoid_t (constant Pvoid_t), and also by address to functions that take
95       PPvoid_t.
96
97       The return type from most JudySL functions is PPvoid_t so that the val‐
98       ues stored in the array can be pointers to other objects,  which  is  a
99       typical  usage,  or  cast  to  a Word_t  * when a pointer to a value is
100       required instead of a pointer to a pointer.
