__P() is just syntactic sugar. It won't make a difference as far as compiling goes. I just tried it myself.

likely harmless. Removing it from header files is probably a different story. Don't get me wrong; I have no use for __P(). I just think nuking it in header files will be met with more resistance than usual. For one, it makes the entire system (well, anything that uses that header file, which is a large chunck of programs) incompatible with a ``K&R Old Testament'' compiler.

Exactly the point.
