Hi,

In KNF, do we prefer either

	(*platform.cons_init)();
or
	platform.cons_init();

when cons_init is a function pointer?


Related is why in the above example we get an error in the later case
but not the former.  "cons_init" is a macro in <dev/cons.h>, but for
some reason it doesn't get expanded in the first case.  Any clue sticks
available for something simple I might have overlooked?

Simon.
