Macro question

Hi,

is correct a macro construction like these ones?

#define DEBUG_FLAGS 0x84
[.. Some code below...]
#if DEBUG_LVL && 0x80
[...]
#endif
And these (equivalent) ones too?

#define DEBUG_FLAGS 0x84
[.. Some code below...]
#if (DEBUG_LVL % 0x80) == 0
[...]
#endif
Thank you.

Saludos,
Alejandro Torras.

Fine so far.
[.. Some code below...]
#if DEBUG_LVL && 0x80


1. What's DEBUG_LVL? If it is not defined, then it will be
treated as 0, and the following code will not be included.

2. 0x80 is always non-zero, so this would normally be equivalent
to just "#if DEBUG_LVL".

In conclusion, it's valid, but confusing.

Here's a proposed Q&A for the FAQ based on a couple recent threads. Appropriate comments appreciated X.Y: Why doesn't Python have macros like in Lisp or Scheme? Before answering that, a clarification on what 'macro' means. A Lisp macro is a way of modifying code when that code is first defined. It can rearrange the structure of the code, and add and remove parts of it. Unlike C's #define macro language, Lisp macros understand the...

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately.

Using a macro, can I change what type an object is being cast to? I know, the initial respone to question might be an instinctive "ugly, don't even think about it!" or "don't use macros at all", but I still would like to know because I am trying to encapsulate a third-party C-based callback-oriented gui toolkit inside C++ classes and I would like to try something. So say you have: long some_address = some_valid_address;

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
