Hi,

Just a short comment:

-#define ARRAY_SIZE(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof((x)[0]))
+#define ARRAY_SIZE(arr) (sizeof(arr) / sizeof((arr)[0])		      \
+	+ sizeof(typeof(int[1 - 2*!!__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(arr), \
+		 typeof(&arr[0]))]))*0)

Rusty, that's a work of art.

However, I would suggest that you never show it to anybody ever again. 
I'm sure that in fifty years, it will be worth much more. So please keep 
it tightly under wraps, to keep people from gouging their eyes 
out^W^W^W^W^W^W^W make a killing in the art market.

Maybe we will need something more insane too?
