how to implement this ?

[horseriver]

hi:

  how to implement this assignment by MACRO?
  int a,b,c ;
  
  ((a==0)?b:c)=8;

  if use this sentence ,gcc will tell :error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

  is there s implementation for this with  macro  define?

  is there suggestion ?

  
  thanks!

This is for help with GCC, not general C coding help.

*((a==0) ? &b : &c) = 8;

But this is really horrible code.  I wouldn't do it.

thans!
  
  why gcc report that error ?
  
  gcc can translate "  ((a==0)?b:c)=8 " into if-else sentence .

  wht is the reason ？

Please supply the test case and the error message.

ok

here is this code : 

#define INPUT_KEYCODE(dev, scancode) ((dev->keycodesize == 1) ? ((u8*)dev->keycode)[scancode] : \
			((dev->keycodesize == 2) ? ((u16*)dev->keycode)[scancode] : (((u32*)dev->keycode)[scancode])))

and here is the callee code :

        unsigned int keycode ;
	
    	INPUT_KEYCODE(dev, scancode) = keycode;

        dev is a struct , scancode is a unsigned int

and gcc report error is :

        error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

thanks!

That is the wrong error.

I need to see the whole of the code that resulted in the error that was
"gcc can translate "  ((a==0)?b:c)=8 " into if-else sentence ."

   gcc can translate "  ((a==0)?b:c)=8 " into if-else sentence   

   is my idea ,not a reported error

Oh, you mean why does C not allow ((a==0)?b:c)=8;

You'd have to ask the C standard committee.  It's not something
that the language allows.

but I find this use in kernel code .

code have been post in  last  mail

GCC used to allow it as a language extension, a long time ago.

If I didn't understand wrong, you can do it like this.

#define calc(_a,_b,_c) ((0==(_a))?((_b)==8):((_c)=8))

actually,I want use ((a==0)?b:c) to select a variable name ,which can be used as left value also as right value.


thanks!
