A few years while I was complifying some code, I added some
extra parameters to many functions that I found I wasn't really
using. The way I did it was something like the following (grab
a bucket...)
#if HAVE_EXTRA_CRAP
# define EXTRA_PARAMS(p1,p2) , float p1, float p2
# define EXTRA_ARGS(p1,p2) , p1, p2
#else
# define EXTRA_PARAMS(p1,p2) /* no extra parameters */
# define EXTRA_ARGS(p1,p2) /* no extra arguments */
#endif
int some_caller(int foo EXTRA_PARAMS(mini, maxi))
{
return some_function(foo-1 EXTRA_ARGS(mini, maxi))
}
I do wish the 'trailing comma' had wider acceptance, as it
would make the above less barfworthy.
Fortunately, there's a happy ending. I saw the error of my
ways, and just removed all the extra stuff I no longer wanted
to use, and I have to dig into the version control system if
I ever want to see it again.
