I may remind you there is the case where people make struct concatenations, just because they can. Arrays of concatenated structs. The cases where you don't even care when the preprocessor will append a pointer or a size_t to your type. You don't even want to know. So, no, the parentheses are not just needed for style. Which we require therefore. Thanks for your time. cheers! mar77i
