If a macro argument is passed verbatim as an argument to a function, it doesn't need additional parens. That's because the one guarantee you have about a macro argument is that it can't contain any (unquoted) commas, and there's nothing lower precedence than the comma. So it's safe to delimit a macro argument with *either* parens *or* a comma. So you can go ahead and write: #define hash_min(val, bits) \ (sizeof(val) <= 4 ? hash_32(val, bits) : hash_long(val, bits)) ... which is easier to read, anyway. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
