DESCRIPTION

       A macro equivalent exists for each function call.   Because  the  macro
       forms  are sometimes faster and have a simpler error handling interface
       than the equivalent functions, they are the preferred  way  of  calling
       the  JudyL functions.  See JudyL(3) for more information.  The function
       call definitions are included here for completeness.

       One of the difficulties in using  the  JudyL  function  calls  lies  in
       determining  whether  to  pass  a  pointer or the address of a pointer.
       Since the functions that modify the JudyL array must  also  modify  the
       pointer  to  the  JudyL array, you must pass the address of the pointer
       rather than the pointer itself.   This  often  leads  to  hard-to-debug
       programmatic  errors.   In  practice,  the macros allow the compiler to
       catch programming errors when pointers instead of addresses of pointers
       are passed.

       The  JudyL  function  calls  have  an additional parameter beyond those
       specified in the macro calls.  This parameter is either a pointer to an
       error  structure, or NULL (in which case the detailed error information
       is not returned).

       In the following descriptions, the functions are described in terms  of
       how  the  macros use them (only in the case of #define JUDYERROR_NOTEST
       1).  This is the suggested use of the macros  after  your  program  has
       been fully debugged.  When the JUDYERROR_NOTEST macro is not specified,
       an error structure is declared to store error information returned from
       the JudyL functions when an error occurs.

       Notice the placement of the & in the different functions.

       Definitions  for  all  the Judy functions, the types Pvoid_t, Pcvoid_t,
       PPvoid_t,  Word_t,  JError_t,  and  PJError_t,  the   constants   NULL,
       JU_ERRNO_*,  JERR,  PPJERR, and PJE0, are provided in the Judy.h header
       file (/usr/include/Judy.h).  Note:  Callers should define JudyL  arrays
       as  type  Pvoid_t,  which can be passed by value to functions that take
       Pcvoid_t (constant Pvoid_t), and also by address to functions that take
       PPvoid_t.

       The  return  type  from  most  JudyL  functions is PPvoid_t so that the
       values stored in the array can be pointers to other objects, which is a
       typical  usage,  or  cast  to  a  Word_t * when a pointer to a Value is
       required instead of a pointer to a pointer.
