Thank you.. This is indeed what I was thinking, and how I read the man
page. I actually did some further looking, and it seems that it is
possble to do this, only using something slightly different.
#define BLA(x) ({ (x); })
This actually works in a conditional, assignment, etc.. evaluating the
block to the last statement as I was expecting. Is there a reason why
the do {} while(0) would be preffered over this?
I appologize for the misunderstanding, I really didn't mean to make such
a big deal over this nuance of C.
Chris
