Ah... I see now.

I agree that explaining *why* e.g. RPMPD_SMPA is defined as 0x61706d73
is worthwhile indeed.

What I meant is that adding /* smpa */ to a macro named RPMPD_SMPA does
not really bring any new information ;-)

How about prefixing the whole block with a small blurb, for example

/* The value of RPMPD_X is X encoded as a little-endian, lower-case, ASCII string */

Regards.
