Please try the unit test case below #include <stdio.h> /*remove assert in production*/ #define ASSERT(x) (void)0 #define GET_VALUE_A(value) ((value)->version == 1 ? ASSERT(value), (value)->b : (value)->a) struct Lvalue { int version; int a; int b; }; int main() { struct Lvalue lvalue = {}; lvalue.version = 1; GET_VALUE_A(&lvalue) = 5; } i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c ternary.c ternary.c: In function ‘main’: ternary.c:19:24: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -v Using built-in specs.
