To try and steer this back to the original issue, the
LIST_FOR_EACH
macro causes nonintuitive branching which is hard to understand when you
read it
Lerning it is well worth the effort.
and when working on the code, as Alex said, you often
have to
demacrofy it which can introduce more errors.
This is the only valid point and to my defence i have said that some of
the loops i replaced were for loops and here he would have exactly the
same problem.
These are legitimate down
sides to using the macro, so again, you need a good reason to use it.
So far you seem to only keep insisting that the macros look better to
you, so I say again, pleasing your sense of aesthetics does not outweigh
the loss of maintainability.
As said before, there really isnt a way to maintain walking a list. This
is code printed in stone.
