This seems totally pointless and actively wrong. You cannot have a comma operator in the actual argument list to the #define, because if you did, then you'd get a macro "prefetch()" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1 so the only way I see to pass a comma operator is to _already_ have the macro parameter in parenthesis.
