BTW., I like the series otherwise: for example in my comment above I wrote up the
SYM_FUNC_START()/END() names from memory, without having to look up the
primitives.
[ Then I double checked it from the series to make sure I got it right. ;-) ]
Before this I could never remember all these random, idiosyncratic, path dependent
macro names - now there's at least some good high level structure to them. So it's
a good step forward.
Thanks,
Ingo
