C++ Macros: manipulating a parameter (specific example)

Question

I need to replace

GET(\"any_name\")

with

String str_any_name = getFunction(\"any_name\");

The hard part is ho

Answer 1

One approach is not to quote the name when you call the macro:

#include 

#define GET( name ) \
    int int##name = getFunction( #name );   \


int getFunction( char * name ) {
    printf( "name is %s\n", name );
    return 42;
}

int main() {
    GET( foobar );
}
