(X) : (Y)) +</pre></div> + +<p>When you use this macro with an argument containing a side effect, +as shown here, +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">next = min (x + y, foo (z)); +</pre></div> + +<p>it expands as follows: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">next = ((x + y) < (foo (z)) ? (x + y) : (foo (z))); +</pre></div> + +<p>where <code>x + y</code> has been substituted for <code>X</code> and <code>foo (z)</code> +for <code>Y</code>. +</p> +<p>The function <code>foo</code> is used only once in the statement as it appears +in the program, but the expression <code>foo (z)</code> has been substituted +twice into the macro expansion. As a result, <code>foo</code> might be called +two times when the statement is executed. If it has side effects or if +it takes a long time to compute, the results might not be what you +intended. We say that <code>min</code> is an <em>unsafe</em> macro. +</p> +<p>The best solution to this problem is to define <code>min</code> in a way that +computes the value of <code>foo (z)</code> only once. The C language offers +no standard way to do this, but it can be done with GNU extensions as +follows: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">#define min(X, Y) \ +({ typeof (X) x_ = (X); \ + typeof (Y) y_ = (Y); \ + (x_ < y_) ? x_ : y_; }) +</pre></div> + +<p>The ‘<samp>({ … })</samp>’ notation produces a compound statement that +acts as an expression. Its value is the value of its last statement. +This permits us to define local variables and assign each argument to +one. The local variables have underscores after their names to reduce +the risk of conflict with an identifier of wider scope (it is impossible +to avoid this entirely). Now each argument is evaluated exactly once. +</p> +<p>If you do not wish to use GNU C extensions, the only solution is to be +careful when <em>using</em> the macro <code>min</code>. For example, you can +calculate the value of <code>foo (z)</code>, save it in a variable, and use +that variable in <code>min</code>: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">#define min(X, Y) ((X) < (Y) ? (X) : (Y)) +… +{ + int tem = foo (z); + next = min (x + y, tem); +} +</pre></div> + +<p>(where we assume that <code>foo</code> returns type <code>int</code>). +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Self_002dReferential-Macros.html#Self_002dReferential-Macros" accesskey="n" rel="next">Self-Referential Macros</a>, Previous: <a href="Swallowing-the-Semicolon.html#Swallowing-the-Semicolon" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Swallowing the Semicolon</a>, Up: <a href="Macro-Pitfalls.html#Macro-Pitfalls" accesskey="u" rel="up">Macro Pitfalls</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Index-of-Directives.html#Index-of-Directives" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
