I agree completely. But it is not the standard practice (see target.h and elsewhere) and others don't seem to mind. So I reined in my prima donna urges and left them as macros. And besides, function calls are so slow. Remember, GDB's performance matters a lot --- it's used to debug real-time operating systems! :( > If I get some bandwidth I'll test it against gcc 2.95.2 and gcc-3pre > on a Solaris machine.
