undefine all macros from a file


Hi,
is there a commend to undefine all macros #define inside a file?

in example:

#define FOR(x) for (.............. )
#define MyMacro1(x,y) ...........

// ... code ...

#undef all-macros

So that, if file above would be a *.h file included somewhere else, it will
not left "garbage" of own "local" macros.

Yes, I know its better to use templates etc, but in some cases I find
macros a bit more comfortable.

Sorry, you have to undef them all individually.

I like macros too. If you follow good naming conventions, you shouldn't find
yourself having to undef a lot of macros.

Of course, often the poorly named macros come from headers outside of your
control, which is infuriating. undef'ing all the macros is generally not the
right solution, though.

For everyone - Apologies for the length of this message. If you don't want to look at the long example, you can skip to the end of the message. And for the Python gurus among you, if you can spare the time, I would appreciate any comments (including words like evil and disgusting, if you think they are applicable :-}) on the example here.

In a recent post ("About C error" by Victor, 21 Sep 2003), comments were made about the poster's use of macros. What I would like to know is why they are considered bad? I'm not referring to their use as 'functions'; I realise the loss of type-safety and the possible evaluation errors that can occur. However, what would be the harm with numeric and text literals? Consider a number that plays a significant role in the implementation of...

At present I'm running a number of macros with a schedular on my computer to update and maintain databases within our network. All my backends contain the tables that the macros update. But all the backends are on servers that do not have access loaded on them. I don't think it's possible to activate these macros from the servers schedular without access being present. Is this true? Thanks Reg

Is there any hope that new versions of PHP will support macros similar to C or C++? I've searched manual and didn't find anything except define directive, but it can be used to define constant values only. Of course it is not THAT neccessary functionality, but it could be very useful. greetz Emil

Hi everyone, I have a simple question. I'm trying to make a macro in one file so I can use it in main.cpp. The idea is that I the user of my code has simple to type the macro definition to replace a more complicated code. Something like the following: // file.h #define OBJECTIVE template <class T\ void operator()(T& chrom_,double* fitness_); // file main.cpp

Hi Group, is there a mean to undefine a function, in a similar way as you can undefine macros? For example, let's say that I need a few declarations from stdio.h but want to define my own printf: #include <stdio.h> #undefine-or-similar printf #include "printf.h"

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
