Because it damn well is perfectly sane to ask "is (a << 3) > a constant expression". I'm missing the compiler version and options to generate the error. Does a '+ 0' help? "(var << 2) + 0 ? 0 : 0" I realised the: #define const_NULL(x) _Generic(0 ? (x) : (char *)0, char *: 1, void *: 0) #define const_true(x) const_NULL((x) ? NULL : (void *)1L)) #define const_expr(x) const_NULL((x) ? NULL : NULL)) I send this morning. Needs 's/char/struct kjkjkjkjui/' applied.
