Syntax:
Elements:
Purpose:
#define id text
or
#define id(x,y...) text
id is a preprocessor identifier, text is any text, x,y is a list of local preprocessor
identifiers, and in this form there may be one or more identifiers separated by commas.
Used to provide a simple string replacement of the ID with the given text from this point
of the program and on.
In the second form (a C macro) the local identifiers are matched up with similar
identifiers in the text and they are replaced with text passed to the macro where it is
used.
If the text contains a string of the form #idx then the result upon evaluation will be the
parameter id concatenated with the string x.
If the text contains a string of the form #idx#idy then parameter idx is concatenated with
parameter idy forming a new identifier.
Within the define text two special operators are supported:
#x is the stringize operator resulting in "x"
x##y is the concatination operator resulting in xy
The varadic macro syntax is supported where the last parameter is specified as ... and
the local identifier used is __va_args__. In this case, all remaining arguments are
combined with the commas.
Examples:
#define BITS 8
a=a+BITS; //same as a=a+8;
#define hi(x) (x
