Given a pointer to a member within a struct, how to return a pointer to this struct?

Firstly, in order to pull that off you need to know the type of the enclosing struct StructType and the name of the member member . That must be a given. Without it, the problem has no solution.

The Linux kernel code (GPLv2 licensed) includes a convenient container_of() macro.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
