Using a shorter name for testing: $ cat foo.c #define my(...) __attribute__((__nonnull__(__VA_ARGS__))) extern void foo (char *a) my (1); extern void bar (char *a, char *b) my (1, 2); $ gcc -E foo.c # 0 "foo.c" # 0 "<built-in>" # 0 "<command-line>" # 1 "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" 1 3 4 # 0 "<command-line>" 2 # 1 "foo.c" extern void foo (char *a) __attribute__((__nonnull__(1))); extern void bar (char *a, char *b) __attribute__((__nonnull__(1, 2))); $ gcc -o foo.o -c foo.c $ # compiled, so we satisfied gcc's attribute syntax and similarly, #define LIBNBD_ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(...) /* no-op */ when disabling the macro. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list Libguestfs@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
