It is impossible to tell that unless you provide details of all the
various macros, data types, and functions used.
Without that, the only thing that can be said is:

This declares a variable `register_names`, which is of the type
`associative_array`, it is constant, and local to the compilation unit.

This is a function that, depending on whether HARDWARE is defined or
not, calls a function `SwitchSetReg` or `vhPrintfMessage`. The latter
presumably outputs the string somewhere.

And same here...

I doubt this was much help. I'd suggest looking for documentation of the
system this came from.
