#define ___PASTE(a, b) a##b
#define __PASTE(a, b) ___PASTE(a, b)
#define _min(a, b, u) ({ \
typeof(a) __PASTE(__a,u) = (a); \
typeof(b) __PASTE(__b,u) = (b); \
__PASTE(__a,u) < __PASTE(__b,u) ? __PASTE(__a,u) : __PASTE(__b,u); })
#define min(a, b) _min(a, b, __COUNTER__)
int min3(int a, int b, int c)
{
return min(a,min(b,c));
}
(probably there's a more elegant way to do this)
