This serie propose a clean solution to the expansion of some builtins like __builtin_bswap16() which gcc consider as an integer constant expression when the arg is itself an integer constant and is used as such in the kernel in code like: #define htons(x) __builtin_bswap16(x) ... switch (protocol) { case htons(ETH_P_IPV6): ... This serie needs to be applied on top of Johannes Berg's patch concerning the same problem and the tests depends on the testsuite extensions posted previously.
