I just took a look at
include/uapi/linux/tc_act/tc_ctinfo.h


I just wondered why the following can be compiled:

struct tc_ctinfo {
        tc_gen;
};


Then, I found 'tc_gen' is a macro.

#define tc_gen \
        __u32                 index; \
        __u32                 capab; \
        int                   action; \
        int                   refcnt; \
        int                   bindcnt



What a hell.
