/* BEGIN new.c */

#include <stdio.h>

#define add_5(X) ((X) + 5)

int (add_5)(int x)
{
return add_5(x);
}

int main(void)
{
int x = 6;

/*
** This uses the macro directly.
*/
printf("%d plus 5 equals %d\n", x, add_5(x++));



/*
** This uses the function.
*/
printf("%d plus 5 equals %d\n", x, (add_5)(x));
return 0;
}

/* END new.c */

I presume you meant to add a \ at the end.

Since this is another macro, but has a different name
to the previous macro, I don't quite see what your real
question is (though pete has answered what I think you
want.)

Macro's stop existing even before compilation. So it's
meaningless to say you do or don't want a macro to run
at runtime.

Please be careful with your terminology, both the macros
you've supplied are function macros. So it's not obvious
what you mean by "function version the MACRO."

Perhaps you should look into inline functions, though they
generally suffer similar problems. This is where log files
are often superior to debuggers.
