2. This macro doesn't produce a warning like the typeof version does. The typeof version warns you about signed/unsigned compares, while an assignment gives no warning.
That is a legitimate operation, there is no reason to prevent people from comparing signed and unsigned values. These type argument min/max values allow people to specify what the comparison type degenerates into.
