The full one, using your naming convention:

#define const_max(x, y)                                          \
    ({                                                           \
        if (!__builtin_constant_p(x))                            \
            __error_not_const_arg();                             \
        if (!__builtin_constant_p(y))                            \
            __error_not_const_arg();                             \
        if (!__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(x), typeof(y))) \
            __error_incompatible_types();                        \
        if ((x) < 0)                                             \
            __error_not_positive_arg();                          \
        if ((y) < 0)                                             \
            __error_not_positive_arg();                          \
        __builtin_choose_expr((x) > (y), (x), (y));              \
    })
Nevermind... gcc doesn't take that as a constant expr, even if it
compiles as one at -O0.
Yeah, unfortunately. :(
