Hi, I too personally always prefer to write the code as the variable at the left side and the constant at the right side of the comparison, because that is how I would also say it naturally in an English or German sentence.
Like for instance "my son is more than 7 years old". I think nobody would ever say it the other way round. Maybe, except when it is a mathematical "a < b < c" relation, I would write it in C as "a < b && b < c", even if b is the variable part and a and c the constants. Hope that does not add more confusion... Having that said, the patch looks good to me. Thanks Bernd.
