Thanks Ben for the review comments. Please find my answers for the questions and could you please take a look at v2 of patch with review commented addressed. >>Does this solve a problem? Yes, #define OBJECT_CONTAINING(POINTER, OBJECT, MEMBER) \ ((OVS_TYPEOF(OBJECT)) (void *) \ ((char *) (POINTER) - OBJECT_OFFSETOF(OBJECT, MEMBER))) On using ovs macro OBJECT_CONTAINING(which references OVS_TYPEOF), following compilation error is observed on windows C++ application: " error C2440: '=': cannot convert from 'void *' to 'object *' note: Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast " With "decltype" keyword, this issue isn't seen as object is type casted to the right type. >>decltype is a C++ feature. How is it specific to Windows? Agree with the review comment, as decltype is a C++ construct we can use it for all C++ enabled application, addressed in patch V2. >>Please use #elif instead of introducing a nested #if...#endif. Yes, taken care in patch V2.

Does this solve a problem? decltype is a C++ feature. How is it specific to Windows? Please use #elif instead of introducing a nested #if...#endif.
