Ugh, and that's indeed true of _Generic too. These don't compile:
struct s1 { int y; };
struct s2 { int z; };
#define f(x) _Generic(x, struct s1: (x).y, struct s2: (x).z)
int f1(struct s1 *s) { return f(*s); }
int f2(struct s2 *s) { return f(*s); }
:( Then I guess Marc-André's realization is ugly but unavoidable.
