When used in
for (something)
A_MACRO;
Michael, the macro expansion would give you:
for (something)
{
stmt1;
stmt2;
};
[Indentation is mine for clarity]. The presence of an empty statement after
the closing brace should not cause any problems, though I seem to recall
certain C compilers don't like it being placed here.
