Macro declare_interned_category 

macro_rules! declare_interned_category {
    ($var_name:ident, $str_lit:literal) => { ... };
    ($var_name:ident, $str_lit:literal, extern) => { ... };
}

Statically declares a new InternedCategory.

By default, this macro allocates the category inside the special __fxt_interned_category_table linker section.

If the extern parameter is provided, the macro instead references an external symbol (e.g. C++ template-allocated) with the C++ mangled name for the category, preventing duplicate physical allocation in the linker section.

Examples

Local allocation:

declare_interned_category!(MY_CATEGORY, "kernel:sched");

External reference (references C++ symbol, avoids physical duplicates):

declare_interned_category!(MY_CATEGORY, "kernel:meta", extern);
