Heh. Exactly, but I was too lazy to write it out in my other email. :)

The no-cost version would be more like:

#ifdef APPLE_QSORT_R
#define DECLARE_CMP(func) int func(void *data, const void *va, const void *vb)
#else
#define DECLARE_CMP(func) int func(const void *va, const void *vb, void *data)
#endif

and then:

  DECLARE_CMP(foocmp);
  ...

  DECLARE_CMP(foocmp)
  {
	const struct foo *a = va, *b = vb;
	... etc ...
  }
