I think it'd be better to have a specific #if foo(...) name for each combination of independent choices. It's a nice property of our current design that, when you see #if foo(X) || foo(Y), you know foo(X) and foo(Y) are mutually exclusive. You'd lose that if you had both target(32bit) and target(bigendian).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Joe</div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">Ah.
