Volatile constants?

[Christian Häggström]

/* Okay I forgot the parenthesis, but that was not my point */

The GCC manual says "An Inline Function is As Fast As a Macro",
but when I compile this (as C code), I got error "initializer element is not constant" on
's' initialization.

inline int abs1(int x) {
    return x<0 ? -x : x;
}
#define abs2(x) ((x)<0 ? -(x) : (x))

int r = abs1(-7);
int s = abs2(-7);

Is there any option I have to pass?

>I don't get that error message. Here is what my compiler says: ...

Okay you use g++. I use the c compiler.
g++ don t generate an error (not even a warning) for this,
but makes an constructor function, 'static_initialization_and_destruction'-something
That is not what I want and it is NOT as fast as a macro.

>I think you should upgrade to gcc-2.95.2.
I compiled with that version, yes

I ll be glad for any help
