For me at least (Wolfgang might have other reasons), the issue is not the use of the pre-processor per se, it is that this "syntax" breaks the '?:' "triadic" operator in pieces, one piece in argument value and one in macro body, and neither piece makes sense from a C standpoint: '5:3' represents no meaningful C entity, and 'X ? y' (without the ':' and third argument of the operator) is not a proper C construct. IOW, it is syntactic sugaring done at the expense of code readability. > Thanks, > Anton Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
