You just have to remain consistent with what's currently being selected.
But yes, you are correct.

And don't get yourself too tied up in knots wrt objdiff-perfection.  I
would take a look at what Joe Perches posted as a starting point.  I
haven't reviewed it in depth yet as I'm wrapped around the axle with
other commitments.

If you get stuck, just ask.  A *little* beating your head against the
wall is part of the learning process, a lot is just unnecessary
frustration.

wrt to this code, we don't necessarily need to see the macros and such
removed.  First step, get them out of the middle of functions.  Second
step, decide which would be better off as static inline functions.  The
rest may be able to go into a common include.

thx,

Jason.
