But your first bugreport was buggy itself and I told you that. You have to 
change your macros to produce valid statement expressions. Your original 
macros produced sth like that:

  int result = ({
       struct test mytest;
       ({
           int testi;
           testi = func (&mytest);
           testi;
       })
  });

You expect TESTI to be assigned to RESULT, but I think this is not covered by 
the definition of statement expressions in the GCC manual (at least not to my 
understanding). I believe you have to rewrite your macros to produce code 
like that:

  int result = ({
       struct test mytest;
       int testi;
       testi = func (&mytest);
       testi;
  });

I don't see a reason for the extra level of braces anyway.
