They were there to work around that annoying feature of VS's
preprocessor when it expands __VA_ARGS__ into the argument list of
another macro. But I've just thought of a workaround that I can apply
in testcrypt.c itself, so that those parens don't have to appear in
every function definition in the header file.
The trick is, instead of writing
destination_macro(__VA_ARGS__)
you instead write
JUXTAPOSE(destination_macro, (__VA_ARGS__))
where JUXTAPOSE is defined to be a macro that simply expands its two
arguments next to each other:
#define JUXTAPOSE(first, second) first second
This works because the arguments to JUXTAPOSE get macro-expanded
_before_ passing them to JUXTAPOSE itself - the same reason that the
standard tricks with STR_INNER and CAT_INNER work (as seen in defs.h
here). So this defuses the magic behaviour of commas expanded from
__VA_ARGS__, and causes the destination macro to get all its arguments
in the expected places again.
