Re: [PATCH] Avoid truncating to 'long' in ALIGN() macro

Yes I was being stupid thinking I needed a temporary variable to use
typeof.  But what does the cast to typeof(x) accomplish if we write
things the way you suggested above?  It seems that the right things is
really just

	(((x) + (a) - 1) & ~((typeof(x)) (a) - 1))
