SubjectType checking MIN with standard interface

All the silent-cast properties of integer types do not apply to
pointers. Therefore...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

cub:~> gcc -O2 -Wall min.c
min.c: In function `main':
min.c:19: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast


cub:~> gcc -O2 -Wall kernel-source.c 2>&1 | \
grep "comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast" | \
find-and-shoot-programmer

:-)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>

#define MIN(x,y) \
({ const typeof(x) _x = x; \
const typeof(y) _y = y; \
\
(void) (&_x == &_y); \
\
_x < _y ? _x : _y; \
})

int
main ()
{
/* Good: */
printf ("%d\n", MIN((signed)1, (signed)1));

/* Bad: */
printf ("%d\n", MIN((signed)1, (unsigned)1));

return 0;
}
