If all the statements are expression statements, as they are here, you
can make the macro expand to an expression rather than to a statement,
which is potentially more flexible:
#define reverse(a, b) ( t = (a), (a) = (b), (b) = t )
On the other hand, you can make the type an additional argument, which
precludes making the whole thing an expression:
#define reverse(a, b, type) \
do { const type t = (a); (a) = (b); (b) = t; } while (0)
But as you say, an inline function is probably even better.
