Due to internal differences between LLVM and GCC the current implementation for the CO-RE macros does not fit GCC parser, as it will optimize those expressions even before those would be accessible by the BPF backend. As examples, the following would be optimized out with the original definitions: - As enums are converted to their integer representation during parsing, the IR would not know how to distinguish an integer constant from an actual enum value. - Types need to be kept as temporary variables, as the existing type casts of the 0 address (as expanded for LLVM), are optimized away by the GCC C parser, never really reaching GCCs IR. Although, the macros appear to add extra complexity, the expanded code is removed from the compilation flow very early in the compilation process, not really affecting the quality of the generated assembly.
