Hi, raf.

This solution seems meaningless with three reasons.

(1) When expression a was constant, "(a)" should be still remaining as
constant (expression). If your idea was correct, we may couldn't write
following statement as global variable definition/initilizer.

	int n = (0);

(2) Actual definition of stdout came from Cygnus (b18) is;

	#define	stdout	(_impure_ptr->_stdout)

(3) Your solution (remove parentheses) still causes same error
message.

Why don't you see actual stdio.h file? And, why don't you try -E
option of gcc?

# Forgive me if my expression brings unpleasant feelings to someone.
# Still I couldn't realize tone of English expressions.
