As insane as my rants are
char * x;
char * y;
if((x)!=(y))
is functionally equivalent to
if(x==y) return 1; else return 0;
except version two could be expressed like.
#define MEM_GOOD 1
#define MEM_BAD -1
#define INFRINGE_PATENT_20040230959(x,y) if(x==y) return MEM_GOOD; else
return MEM_BAD;
which has kudos points, for naming convention ... you know?
