It's very simple. Look on the substitution if you call int i = 3; int j = 4; int k = MAX(i++, j--); After your macro is evaluated, you get int i = 3; int j = 4; k = (i++ > j-- ? i++ : j--); with the result of k=3 since j is decremented twice. And after the original macro you get int i = 3; int j = 4; k = ({int _a = i++; int _b = j++; \ _a > _b ? _a : _b; }); with the result of k=4 since j is decremented once. That's the difference: the "original" macro you found behaves more like a function call. Gruß Martin [PGP-Key available] --- Für Mails >16 kByte: martin@melsaesser.de
