shared c constants in a header

Question

I want to share certain C string constants across multiple c files. The constants span multiple lines for readability:

const char *QUERY = \"SELECT a,b,c \"
         


        

Answer 1

You can simply #define them separate

#define QUERY1 "SELECT a,b,c "
#define QUERY2 "FROM table..."

and then join them in one definition

#define QUERY QUERY1 QUERY2
