Using parenthesis with the defined and sizeof operators is
considered good for readability and thus proper style in
most projects.

What is a lot less readable in the if/ifelse/endif block that
was posted is the somewhat counter intuitive order in which
conditions are checked (and thus override each other).  That kind
of complex logic often would benefit from comments clarifying the
reasoning.  For example why is the workaround for UEFI located
before tests for compiler support?  And why are all compilers
claiming compliance with recent STDC versions assumed NOT to
have stdint.h, only inttypes.h?

Enjoy
