SubjectRe: [idea] request_module(const char *fmt, ...);
Hi guys,

I think I have a solution to the variable-length macro
:

if you define an empty macro for request_module, this
line :

request_module("blah","blah2","foobar");

will be converted to :

("blah","blah2","foobar");

which is treated by the compiler as useless code and
will no even generate one byte of code.

Here is a looser example which works :

#ifndef ENABLE

#define test_func

#else

#define test_func myfunc


int myfunc(char *fmt, ...) {
return *fmt;
}

#endif

main() {
test_func("azerazer","aerazerazer");
}


when compiled with gcc -S -O2 -DENABLE, you'll get
this output :

.text
.align 4
.globl myfunc
.type myfunc,@function
myfunc:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
movl 8(%ebp),%eax
movsbl (%eax),%eax
leave
ret
.Lfe1:
.size myfunc,.Lfe1-myfunc
.section .rodata
.LC0:
.string "aerazerazer"
.LC1:
.string "azerazer"
.text
.align 4
.globl main
.type main,@function
main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
pushl $.LC0
pushl $.LC1
call myfunc
leave
ret



But when compiled with gcc -O2 -S test.c, you get this
shorter code :

.text
.align 4
.globl main
.type main,@function
main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
leave
ret

I think this is perfectly usable, any comments ?

Willy
