<rth> the problem with this (and the whole notion that ? can be an lvalue) is
that the two arms of the ?: do not have the same type.
<franzo> but that is exactly the feature that prevents a lot of warnings if we
have a long long temporary in the size 8 get_user case
<rth> frankly, the manual does not support the usage as given.  it mentions only
(a?b:c)=5 --> (a?b=5:c=5).
<rth> i'm not tempted to extend the semantics of this already questionable feature.
<franzo> hmm, ok. then we can change evdev.c to use a temporary and hope not too
many other places in the kernel do that
