That’s what I’d tried initially, e.g.

#define COMMAND_SIZE(opcode) ({ \
int index = ((opcode) >> 5) & 7; \
index == 0 ? 6 : (index == 4 ? 16 : index == 3 || index == 5 ? 12 : 10); \
})

But gcc still reckons that results in a VLA, defeating the initial purpose of
the exercise.

Does it help if I make the magic value construction clearer?

#define SCSI_COMMAND_SIZE_TBL (	\
	   (16 -  6)		\
	+ ((16 - 10) <<  4)	\
	+ ((16 - 10) <<  8)	\
	+ ((16 - 12) << 12)	\
	+ ((16 - 16) << 16)	\
	+ ((16 - 12) << 20)	\
	+ ((16 - 10) << 24)	\
	+ ((16 - 10) << 28))

#define COMMAND_SIZE(opcode)						\
  (16 - (15 & (SCSI_COMMAND_SIZE_TBL >> (4 * (((opcode) >> 5) & 7)))))

Regards,

Stephen
