This TRACE macro is an interesting academic example. I say "academic", because who wants a trace statement that outputs only numbers, no string arguments? And once you allow string arguments, you notice that you need a varargs function, not a macro. > In that case, we don't want to write STRGY or ALEN everytime. The ALEN macro is reasonable: usable in many situations, and easy to understand. > [1] https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/latestfile/5298/ModernC.pdf Will I learn something by reading this book, or will it spoil me? :-) Bruno
