The three typeof(x) should be x/y/z, right? Using __auto_type would avoid the bug and also remove one more variable expansion. Using another temporary variable, plus the use of __auto_type brings the example line from xen/setup.c down 750KB to 530KB, and the compile speed from 0.5s to 0.34s. #define __cmp_once3(op, x, y, z, uniq) ({ \ __auto_type __x_##uniq = (x); \ __auto_type __y_##uniq = (y); \ __auto_type __z_##uniq = (z); \ __auto_type __xy##uniq = __cmp(op, __x_##uniq, __y_##uniq); \ __cmp(op, __xy_##uniq, __z_##uniq); }) The __auto_type change can also be applied to the other typeof() in this file.
