Do we want to write that like:

#define WARN_INSN(insn, format, ...)					\
({									\
	struct instruction *_insn = (insn);				\
	if (!_insn->sym || !_insn->sym->warned)				\
		WARN_FUNC(format, _insn->sec, _insn->offset, ##__VA_ARGS__);\
	if (_insn->sym)							\
		_insn->sym->warned = 1;					\
})

instead ?
