To further belabor the point...In the linux kernel they almost exactly do what Jon was pointing out as a dismissable solution.
See my response to Udo for how I cocked up my "obviously dismissable example". But I can't resist responding to this bit:
In the linux kernel they do it for the kernel's data structures. You can find macros galore for manipulating lists and iterating over them[1].
I hope we're all agreed that using macros as a means of making code safer is like trying to mend the foundations of a skyscraper with string and sealing-wax. Jón -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn at cl.cam.ac.uk
