Patches 1, 4, and 6 are already committed. I plan to commit patches 2, 3

Patch 7 needs further discussions and it is best addressed during the
next MISRA C sync-up.
I would like to share here, before the next MISRA C sync, my
understandings that will hopefully resolve a wrong impression of mine,
that I may have spread around, regarding this rule.
There was a misunderstanding regarding the rule 20.7 from my part and I
think that Jan is absolutely right that parenthesizing macro parameters
used as function arguments is not required by the rule.
The rule 20.7 states "Expressions resulting from the expansion of macro
parameters shall be enclosed in parentheses" and in the rationale of the
rule states "If a macro parameter is not being used as an expression
then the parentheses are not necessary because no operators are involved.".
Initially, based on the title, my understanding was that it requires for
the expression resulting from the expansion of the macro to be enclosed
in parentheses. Then, based on the rule explanation and the examples
given, my understanding was that it requires the macro parameters that
are used as expressions to be enclosed in parentheses.
But, after re-thinking about it, the most probable and what makes more
sense, is that it require parentheses around the macro parameters that
are part of an expression and not around those that are used as expressions.
Therefore, macro parameters being used as function arguments are not
required to be enclosed in parentheses, because the function arguments
are part of an expression list, not of an expression (comma is evaluated
as separator, not as operator).
While, macro parameters used as rhs and lhs expressions of the
assignment operator are required to be enclosed in parentheses because
they are part of an assignment expression.
I verified that the violation reported by cppcheck is not due to missing
parentheses around the function argument (though still I have not
understood the origin of the warning). Also, Eclair does not report it.
Hence, it was a misunderstanding of mine and there is no inconsistency,
with respect to this rule, in adding parentheses around macro parameters
used as rhs of assignments. The rule does not require adding parentheses
around macro parameters used as function arguments and neither cppcheck
nor Eclair report violation for missing parentheses around macro
parameters used as function arguments.
