Summary: #ifdef lint

Here's a favorite one of mine.

/*
 * Adb is more palatable when static functions and variables are
 * declared as globals. Lint gives more useful information when
 * statics are truly static.
 */
#ifdef	lint
#	define	STATIC	static	/* Declare static variables for lint */
#else	/* lint */
#	define	STATIC		/* Make static variables global for adb */
#endif	/* lint */
