IMO: __LINE__ should never be used. __func__ is the only thing that can't be captured correctly as the inline gets its own name. __builtin_return_address(1) would generally work well enough for the inlines. > There was a time when we had problems with compiler expansion of static > inlines, so we shouldn't go back and churn the code base to change it > because there's thousands of these and possibly some old compiler used > for an obscure architecture that still needs the define. That's not a very compelling argument to me. Those old compilers and obscure architectures should continue to use the old versions of the code.

I think nowadays we should always use static inlines for argument
checking unless we're capturing debug information like __FILE__ or
__LINE__ or something that a static inline can't. Even in the latter
case the pattern should probably be single line #define that captures
the information and passes it to a static inline.
There was a time when we had problems with compiler expansion of static
inlines, so we shouldn't go back and churn the code base to change it
because there's thousands of these and possibly some old compiler used
for an obscure architecture that still needs the define.

Could it become a static inline function instead?
or that might expand its scope too much?

Multiline macros not following the do {} while (0) pattern are likely a larger
problem.
I'll take a look.

This should be wrapped in a do { } while (0).
Look, this warning is clearly great at finding smelly code, but the
fixes being generated to shut up the warning are low quality.
