We have already several implementations of the macro.

First of all, I'm far from being fan of mixing int ret into other
variable definitions.

unsigned int i OTOH shows explicitly that we have counter which is not
supposed to be negative.

int i in most of the cases will work, so, it's a minor. I'm not
insisting, though having counter variable on separate line is also a
good thing.

In general, having different things in one line is a bad idea for my opinion.
