Hello, Arnaud.
You wrote 30 =D0=B8=D1=8E=D0=BB=D1=8F 2012 =D0=B3., 2:30:21:

  And how will it return value? It is completely illegal for compound
statement to return value. And to be a part of primary expression, too.

  Here is simple test:

5
6  #define fn(x) ({ fn(x, 42); })
7
8  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
9          printf("%d\n", fn(10));
10         return 0;
11 }

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

  gcc compiles it and prints "52", but MSVC++ 10.0 cannot compile this
at all, and it is in its own right:
