Since >sizeof cannot be used to control preprocessing, I don't see where any Reading the standard, any 'constant-expression' is valid for #if, and sizeof is yielding a constant. So, one should be able to say: #if sizeof (a) == 2 etc. I read it a while ago and though it too bad my compiler won't do this. No separate cpp will do it (unless it learns some C). Comments? I was reading 3.8.1 7/88 draft. -- Regards Eyal
