Hello,
I have situation to put # character in macros.
Eg:
I have to include file1 ,file2, and file3 in a file.
#ifndef file1
#include<file1.h>
#endif
#ifndef file2
#include<file2.h>
#endif
#ifndef file3
#include<file3.h>
#endif
I want to add a macro to do the above task
#define INCLUDE(x) #ifndef #x \
#include<#x.h\
#endif
and then i want to use INCLUDE(file1)
INCLUDE(file2) ...etc.,
But as you all know, macro thinks that all "#" are for stringizing
characters. But i want to tell that macro that this # is special
character and don't treat it as stringizing character.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Venkatesh.

AFAIK, its not possible to have macro expand to another preprocessor
directive.

You are correct, it is not possible. The correct was to handle the
problem the OP is showing is to put the include guards in the include
files themselves.

Unless you run the preprocessor twice, this is not possible.

Note also that "backslash followed by newline" is deleted by
the compiler, so you cannot define a macro that will expand on
several lines. There is no way to tell the preprocessor that it
should insert a newline at this specific point of the macro
replacement.

cpp barely qualifies as a macro processor. What you are trying
to do is not guarenteed to work, and rarely does. You either
live with the severe limitations of cpp or use a real macro
processor, such as m4 and many other available.

One of the drawbacks of being a martyr is that you have to die.

In fact, it's guaranteed not to work. If it does work, then your C
preprocessor is broken.
(Have you decided to start snipping attributions as well as using an
obnoxious quoting character?)
