[patch 01/37] Stringify support commas

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Thu Apr 24 2008 - 11:21:46 EST


#define MYDEF a, b, c

__stringify(MYDEF) should be replaced by "a, b, c", but compilation fails
because the __stringify macro expects only one argument. Fix it by using
variable macro arguments in __stringify and __stringify_1.

Needed in my current NMI safe iret paravirt support work so I can expand
a macro containing assembly code into a string.

Since some architectures still use -traditional, which does not support macros
with variable arguments, keep the old stringify around. Test with __STDC__ to
see if -traditional is used.
