问题
I am trying to implement VERSION macro for my program, that is to be changed under certain circumstances.
macro VERSION is defined via Makefile (git info is put there) and is a string. Now I have a set of #define'd switches and I want VERSION to reflect which of them are on. This looks now like the follows (main.h):
#define COMPLEX_DEPOSITION // This is switch. later in code it is used in #ifdef...#endif construction.
#ifdef COMPLEX_DEPOSITION
#define CD "_COMP_DEP" // this is the string I want to put in the end of VERSION
#define VERSION_ VERSION CD
#undef VERSION // this is to suppress 'macro redefinition' warning
#define VERSION VERSION_
#undef VERSION_
#endif
Well, I get a lot of errors, most of which make me think that C preprocessor works with lines in file in random order:(
Later I have an even more complex thing that is intended to make VERSION -> VERSION_WLT_GAP_2
#define WIRESLIFETIMES
#ifdef WIRESLIFETIMES
#define GAP 2
#define VERSION_ (VERSION ## "_WLT_GAP_" ## #GAP)
#define VERSION VERSION_
#undef VERSION_
#endif
and I got no idea what to do and if this is even possible
回答1:
String literals concatenate naturally when placed next to each other
"foo" "bar"
is the same as "foobar"
.
As for the second example, you probably want:
#define CAT_(A,B) A##B
#define CAT(A,B) CAT_(A,B)
#define GAP 2
#define VERSION CAT(VERSION_WLT_GAP_ , GAP)
VERSION //expands to VERSION_WLT_GAP_2
I recommend playing with gcc -E
/clang -E
a bit, to learn how macros work,
before trying to compose anything complex with them.

Well, the answer seems to be the following:
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5256313/c-c-macro-string-concatenation
// Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B without expanding macro definitions (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
#define PPCAT_NX(A, B) A ## B
// Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B after macro-expanding them.
#define PPCAT(A, B) PPCAT_NX(A, B)
// Turn A into a string literal without expanding macro definitions (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
#define STRINGIZE_NX(A) #A
// Turn A into a string literal after macro-expanding it.
#define STR(A) STRINGIZE_NX(A)
#define COMPLEX_DEPOSITION
#ifdef COMPLEX_DEPOSITION
#define CD "_COMPDEP"
#else
#define CD ""
#endif
#define WIRESLIFETIMES
#ifdef WIRESLIFETIMES
#define GAP 2
#define WLT STR(PPCAT(_WLT:G, GAP))
#define DISABLE_METROPOLIS
#else
#define WLT ""
#endif
#define VERSION VERSIONX CD WLT
which produces V008.1-11-g68a9c89cb4-dirty_COMPDEP_WLT:G2
and I am happy with it.
Must be noted that I changed -DVERSION=...
to -DVERSIONX=...
inside Makefile
