../misc/linked_list.h:71:34: warning: the address of ‘e6’ will always
evaluate as ‘true’ [-Waddress]
No shit, e6 is on the stack. But the macro argument is also allowed to
be NULL. Add some dumb nonsense to shut up the useless warning. (It's
probably useful in other contexts though, so don't disable it
completely.)
This provides macros for managing intrusive doubly linked lists.
There are many ways how to do those in a "generic" way in C. For example
Solaris style lists are pretty nice:

I even have an independent implementation of this, which could be ISC
licensed. But I think it's easier to vomit ~100 lines of preprocessor
garbage, which has a lower footprint, and I think it wins slightly on
the side of type safety, simplicity, and ease of use, even if it doesn't
look as magically nice.
