How to Programming with Macros

Because macro_rules! is a bit dumber than you might expect. It does not, for example, bring imports with it when it expands something. It's best to think of macro expansion as mostly just a dumb copy+paste job. If you look at any reasonably well-written macro that depends on outside symbols,...

how to add macro defines in Qt .pro file [duplicate]

c++,qt,macros

Add the following to your .pro file: DEFINES += "PI=\"3.1415926\"" In your compile output you will see something like g++ -c -pipe -g -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIE -DPI="3.1415926" -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I../nobackup/qbuffertest -I. -I../nobackup/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/include -I../nobackup/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/include/QtGui -I../nobackup/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/include/QtCore -I. -I../nobackup/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o main.o ../nobackup/qbuffertest/main.cpp Now you can access the macro in your C++ files:...

C++: complex function-like macro definition

Let's run ONLY the processor over the following code: // Strings are per-isolate primitives but Environment proxies them // for the sake of convenience. #define PER_ISOLATE_STRING_PROPERTIES(V) \ V(address_string, "address") \ V(args_string, "args") \ V(argv_string, "argv") \ V(async, "async") \ #define V(PropertyName, StringValue) \ inline v8::Local<v8::String> PropertyName() const; PER_ISOLATE_STRING_PROPERTIES(V) #undef V...

Use Weka from ImageJ macro: 'path' is required but unset

macros,weka,imagej

The Trainable Weka Segmentation plugin doesn't adhere to the macro recording conventions of ImageJ, mainly because of its complex structure. However, the correct way to interact with the plugin by macro scripting is described extensively in its documentation on the Fiji wiki. In summary, you need to something like: open("C:\\input\\test.tif");...

Statement in C++ macro

c++,c,macros,c-preprocessor

This macro uses the Statement-Expressions GCC extension. The last expression in the inner block serves as the value for the whole, once it has been executed, much like the comma operator.

Do macros run faster than global variables in C? How to change macros between runs?

Well, here's a potential source of the performance difference. With a macro, the value of CONSTANT is known at compile time, so the compiler can take advantage of that knowledge and structure the machine code a little differently. I took a variation of your code and used gcc -Wa,-aldh to...

Can I create a macro that unrolls loops?

Well, sort of. macro_rules! unroll { (0, |$i:ident| $s:stmt) => {}; (1, |$i:ident| $s:stmt) => {{ let $i: usize = 0; $s; }}; (2, |$i:ident| $s:stmt) => {{ unroll!(1, |$i| $s); let $i: usize = 1; $s; }}; (3, |$i:ident| $s:stmt) => {{ unroll!(2, |$i| $s); let $i: usize =...

Combining multiple template classes to one class using typedef

c++,templates,macros,typedef

In my own code I also separate the declaration from the implementation. Sometimes I just need the code to know that there exists a template, more often I want to make it very easy to see what the interfaces are. I have solved this tedious typing with macros. However, the...

Defining macro function from makefile

c++,c,makefile,macros

You can insert a header from the command line to all sources by adding this to the CXX flags: -include "path/to/header.h" EDIT: In your particular case you could also pass this to the CXX flags to make a macro function: -D'dbg_print(...)=printf(__VA_ARGS__)' on windows it worked for me with " and...

nasm, macro print not working

c,assembly,macros

According to standard calling convention, some registers are caller-saved, namely eax, ecx and edx. As such, you shouldn't expect their value to be retained through a call printf. That's presumably why you get wrong value printed. You could push the second one on the stack before printing the first one,...

Expanded from macro 'num' while printing it using printf by Clang compiler

c,gcc,macros,clang,c-preprocessor

It is probably complaining that the expression expanded from color_num is an unsigned (perhaps unsigned long) while the format in the printf is a signed integer. sizeof gives size_t, which is always an unsigned type, as noted in is size_t always unsigned?, but the number of bits depends on the...

How to test whether an identifier that is accessible only through a #define macro is defined?

c++,c,macros

Defining identifiers (functions, objects) is something that happens after the preprocessing, so you can not possibly determine during preprocessing whether a function will be defined later. What you can do as workaround is that you always define a macro alongside with the function: void A(); #define A_SUPPLIED and then test...

Can I create a macro or shortuct for a step of XPath in XQuery?

xml,xpath,macros,xquery

XQuery does not know such macros, you could of course use any preprocessor to do such things. But I'd rather define a function for this: declare function local:outward($context as item()) { $context/ancestor-or-self::* }; Functions can also be applied in axis steps (remember to pass the current context .): let $xml...

Importing a common constant declared pig file in other pig files

import,macros,apache-pig

The IMPORT keyword is used to import macros, not constants. %declare and %default are preprocessor statements, and its scope is all the remaining lines in the script. If you declare it in a script, but import it from a different one, it will not work because it is out of...

Accessing argument's metadata in Clojure macro

I ended up finding a solution: (def ^{:a :b} my-var) (defmacro my-macro [s] (prn (meta (resolve s)))) (my-macro my-var) ;; Prints {:a :b, :name my-var, ...} So the key part here is to use resolve function to get the var associated to the symbol....

What is the difference between executing a macro and executing the contained instructions within it in Teradata?

macros,teradata

A Macro is exactly the same as a MultiStatement Request (MSR). When you EXPLAIN EXEC mymacro you will notice that all the statements within the macro are done followed by a final END TRANSACTION step. Now if you do something like a DELETE ALL as a standalone transaction it's a...

Append the string provided by FUNCTION macro

You can add an additional macro #define STRINGIZE(str) #str and use it like this: ADD_TIME_ENTRY(__FUNCTION__ STRINGIZE(start)) Seems like __FUNCTION__ might be not a macro so it is not particularly easy to combine it with anything in such a case. In MSVC2013 it is a macro so it is easy combinable....

Picking up a certain string pattern without regex

c++,regex,c++11,macros

The simplest way I can think of is using std::getline to read up to every open paren ( and then check that string for your macro. Then another std::getline to read up to the closing paren ) should extract your macro's parameters. A bit like this: const std::string EXTERNALIZE =...

Advantages of do { } while(0) versus ({ }) in a macro?

You may change your macro to return an object with operator ()(const std::string&), something like: struct Logger2 { explicit Logger2(const std::string& name) : name(name) {} Logger2& operator << (const std::pair<const char*, const char*>& p) { std::cout << name << ":" << p.first << " " << p.second << std::endl; return...

Assigning UIColor values to macros

The key thing to understand in this context is that a preprocessor macro only replaces (really, 1-to-1 replaces) the code for the macro at compile time, thus your error-generating code actually looks like this to the compiler: self.view.backgroundColor = = [UIColor colorWithRed:(238.0f/255.0f) green:(251.0f/255.0f) blue:(255.0f/255.0f) alpha:0.8f]; You can see for yourself...

Backquote String Interpolation

macros,lisp,common-lisp

Lisp macros operate on arguments that have already been read by lisp's reader. Because of that a macro can't change how it's arguments are read, and if you pass an argument that will signal an error when you try to read it, e.g. 9:00 in (test 9:00), the reader signals...

Is there any way to skip macro replacement(During preprocessing) when macro is used as a variable name?

c++,qt,c++11,macros,qt5

You should be able to fix that problem by using: #include "ConflictHeader.h"//Include conflicted header #ifdef _c #undef _c #endif A better option might be to create a wrapper .h file fro ConflictHeader.h and use the wrappr .h file in rest of your code.

For just nullptr and unique_ptr, this could work: #ifndef HAVE_CXX11 #define nullptr NULL #define unique_ptr auto_ptr #endif But I don't know how you plan to cope with the different semantics of unique_ptr and auto_ptr. If you're willing to live with some undefined behaviour for a while (of the kind unlikely...

Is that possible to get comments with macro?

macros,elixir

No, you cannot get code comments inside macros. They never become part of the AST and are discarded still in Elixir's tokenizer.

__has_cpp_attribute not a 'function-like' macro?

c++,gcc,macros,c++14

GCC 4.9 doesn't have __has_cpp_attribute, and the short-circuiting behavior of && does not extend to allowing invalid constructs to follow it. That is to say, if foo isn't defined, #if defined(foo) && foo(bar) is not valid. What you want is #if defined(__has_cpp_attribute) #if __has_cpp_attribute(deprecated) #define DEPRECATED(msg) [[deprecated(msg)]] #endif #elif OTHER_COMPILER...

Julia: How do I create a macro that returns its argument?

macros,julia-lang

The input expression to the macro needs to be quoted because a macro returns an expression, which are evaluated, while you would like to get the expression itself, hence you need an extra quoting.

Dose VS2010 pre-calculate preprocessor defined by #define?

c++,visual-studio-2010,macros,preprocessor

the #define will do a direct text replacement. Because of that everywhere you have PI it will get replaced with 4.0f*atan(1.0f). I would suspect the compiler would optimize this away during code generation but the only real way to know is to compile it and check the assembly. I found...
