Aha, also

> gcc-7 -S t.c -std=c11 -pedantic -pedantic-errors
t.c: In function 'foo':
t.c:6:7: error: case label is not an integer constant expression 
[-Wpedantic]
       case USB_ID(0xfc08, 0x0101):;
       ^~~~

aber _nur_ mit -std=c11 (oder c99, aber nicht c89) und -pedantic 
-pedantic-errors.

#define USB_ID(v,p) (((v)<<16)|(p))
void foo (unsigned int *i)
{
  switch (*i)
    {
      case USB_ID(0xfc08, 0x0101):;
    }
}

Wird auch mit gcc 11 rejected.  Kanns sein dass mit gcc 7 andere
compiler flags genommen werden?
