Can you use all macros here? This breaks OFED, because __makedev() is used to
initialize variables.
See another reply.
I will change them to macros and fear breaking them with a gccism instead
of with with inlines.
I should have worried more about the inlines. Plain inline is only in C99
or a gcc extension starting in gcc-2.mumble. Portability of sys/types.h is
more important than for any other header in the system except sys/cdevs.h.
So it must compile with C90 compilers and should compile with K&R compilers.
For makedev(), etc., it spells inline as __inline so the inline feature
can be turned off easily (the functions then become static and repeated
every time sys/types.h is included, but this probably happens anyway with
-O0 and it works for any compiler).
Turning off the statement-expression feature needed to write safe
macros is not so easy. In <sys>, this feature is only used in
mostly-kernel headers and in stdatomic.h.
