[Bug macros/9748] New: macros containing __extension__ won't run

["rearnsha at gcc dot gnu dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Consider a macro, such as the following (from GCC):

#define TREE_CHECK(T, CODE) __extension__ ({ __typeof (T) const __t = (T); if
(TREE_CODE (__t) != (CODE)) tree_check_failed (__t, __FILE__, __LINE__,
__FUNCTION__, (CODE), 0); __t; })

if the object containing the macro is compiled with -g3, then the definition is
available to GDB, but this doesn't help much...

(gdb) p TREE_CHECK (fntype, CALL_EXPR)
No symbol "__extension__" in current context.
