Like most programming problems, you just need another layer of indirection! The below works for me in all the cases I could think of (including __uint128_t). #define __IS_POWER_OF_2(n) (n != 0 && ((n & (n - 1)) == 0)) #define _IS_POWER_OF_2(n, unique_n) \ ({ \ typeof(n) unique_n = (n); \ __IS_POWER_OF_2(unique_n); \ }) #define is_power_of_2(n) \ __builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr((n)), \ __IS_POWER_OF_2((n)), \ _IS_POWER_OF_2(n, __UNIQUE_ID(_n))) Although Jani's original might be easier to understand.
