Uppercase shows > that something special is going on. 12) Macros, Enums and RTL ------------------------- Names of macros defining constants and labels in enums are capitalized. .. code-block:: c #define CONSTANT 0x12345 Enums are preferred when defining several related constants. CAPITALIZED macro names are appreciated but macros resembling functions may be named in lower case. I dunno. Yes, there's macro trickery going on here, but it certainly resembles a function. It doesn't fail any of the rules laid out in that chapter of coding-style about unacceptable uses of macros.
