Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:14:18 +1100 From: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/5] cast_if_type: allow macros functions which take more than one type. To create functions which can take two types, but still warn on any other types, we need a way of casting one type and no others. To make things more complex, it should correctly handle function args, NULL, and be usable in initializers. __builtin_choose_expr was introduced in gcc 3.1 (we need >= 3.2 anyway).
