[Zlib-devel] zlib 1.2.6 released

[Mark Adler]

Jan,

Thanks.  I will make a change like that.  I was wondering if a #define using its own name in the definition would pose a problem, so your email prompted me to look at the C standard.  It's pretty clear about it: "The preprocessing tokens within a preprocessing directive are not subject to macro expansion unless otherwise stated."  (And it's not otherwise stated for #define.)
