When you have so many nested macros, one thing to do is look at a pre-processed version of the code.
In MSVC, adding /P to the command line will create a file with a .i extension, containing the pre-processed code. Examining that will probably give you the cause of the error.
EDIT: I see someone beat me to giving the same advice.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I have put that option on property page settings and show me no more details: The error occur in some inode.cpp file (ex C file), and those macros are some support.h file.
So, when I compiled with /P option, I got only inode.i file, where I have a line:
#line 1 "d:\\project\\.......\\inode.cpp"
that is all. And support.i doesn't generated, due to error:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
...
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
...
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
...
The problem is that macro TestAndClearDirty(ni); is

The problem is the code is trying to use TestAndClearDirty(ni); for returning BOOL value, and I don't think that macro is written to return a BOOL value ... I guess from here is coming these errors ...

This question is somewhat related to the question Passing a "value", that was either #defined or #undef, into a macro and check if it was defined? - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards[^] , but the core question in this thread is quite different than that of the other thread so I think this should be a separate thread. In the other thread I was looking to have a macro do my checks, but it would be ok to do it without a macro as well. The important thing is that the checks (there are several hundreds of them) are nicely formatted in way that makes it easy to read. So, is it possible to achieve something like this with some clever workaround:
#if defined(ADDR1) && defined(ADDR2) _Static_assert(ADDR1==ADDR2, #ADDR1 " is not equal to " #ADDR2); #endif
#if defined(ADDR3) && defined(ADDR4) _Static_assert(ADDR3==ADDR4, #ADDR3 " is not equal to " #ADDR4); #endif
#if defined(ADDR5) && defined(ADDR6) _Static_assert(ADDR5==ADDR6, #ADDR5 " is not equal to " #ADDR6); #endif
#if defined(ADDR7) && defined(ADDR8) _Static_assert(ADDR7==ADDR8, #ADDR7 " is not equal to " #ADDR8); #endif As you can see, the "correct" way of doing this (the way the compiler wants it) is not easy to read at all (and not so easy to generate in Excel or edit using the block caret feature in Eclipse):
#if defined(ADDR1) && defined(ADDR2)
_Static_assert(ADDR1 == ADDR2, #ADDR1 " is not equal to " #ADDR2);
#endif
#if defined(ADDR3) && defined(ADDR4)
_Static_assert(ADDR3 == ADDR4, #ADDR3 " is not equal to " #ADDR4);
#endif
#if defined(ADDR5) && defined(ADDR6)
_Static_assert(ADDR5 == ADDR6, #ADDR5 " is not equal to " #ADDR6);
#endif
#if defined(ADDR7) && defined(ADDR8)
_Static_assert(ADDR7 == ADDR8, #ADDR7 " is not equal to " #ADDR8);
#endifCan anyone think of a neat trick? Maybe something involving #include files? I think I've read somewhere that you can have several #include on the same line.

What problem are you actually trying to resolve? The requirement for hundreds of #defines suggests something in your design needs looking at.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see the problem. Use the same defined name in all your code, then you do not need to care. If it's not defined then the compiler will complain.
|
|
|
|

If I use the same defines both in my local code and in the shared h-file then I get compiler warnings, "REGISTER_NAME" redefined. I need to include the shared h-file in my own project as well because in addition to addresses, it also contains structs and enums that contains information about what the data in the different registers mean. If I get rid of my local file (the comprehensive file with ALL register addresses) then I expose all the registers and I don't want that, I only want to expose a subset. Maybe I should move my structs and enums to a separate shared h-file and ensure that (through special inclusion guards) my local and the shared h-file are never included into the same file, but I would prefer to keep everything (addresses, structs and enums) in the same file.

You can use #define statements in each source module to include only certain sections of the headers, which is the standard way of doing it. Take a look at any of the Windows header files and you will see examples.
|
|
|
|
|
The registers that should be exposed are not contiguous, they appear quite randomly in the address space. Currently, they are ordered in ascending order of the address and it's too late in the development phase to re-number the addresses according to whether they are exposed or not. So, adding a lot of #ifdefs would pollute the code quite a bit and make it much harder to read. I'm a firm believer in having code that easy to read for the human eye.
|
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, you could automatically generate (e.g. pre-build step) both the correct header and its pretty representation (e.g. human readable file) starting from a sigle configuration file.
I use a similar approach to share constant values in both C and Lua programs.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, if worse comes to worse I will do this. Is there source code available somewhere for a "preprocessor light" that can automatically detect #defines that are evaluated to numbers?
|
|
|
|
|
Very probably there is, but, unfortunately, I am not aware of. I do use a little Lua script for the purpose. Lua features powerful string manipulation functions and it is a very enjoyable scripting language. You might also use a more popular scripting language, like, for instance, Python (another option is, if you like it, using the C++ 11 regex classes).

I display the 32 bit icon with transparency using the AlphaBlend function. If the window with the icon is moved partially outside the monitor screen, the transparent area in some places is filled. Damaged places with partial transparency.. Any idea what it might be?

Maybe the Window is not getting refreshed properly. Do you have code that is controlling when the icon gets painted?

I just put the following code in the OnPaint () handler.
CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC *psrcDC = m_PictureControl.GetDC();
CDC dstDC;
dstDC.CreateCompatibleDC(psrcDC);
HBITMAP oldBmp = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(dstDC.m_hDC, startBitmap);
BLENDFUNCTION blend = { AC_SRC_OVER, 0,255, AC_SRC_ALPHA };
AlphaBlend(psrcDC->m_hDC, 0, 0, iWidth, iHeight, dstDC.m_hDC,0, 0, iWidth, iHeight, blend);
DeleteObject(oldBmp);
DeleteObject(startBitmap);
ReleaseDC(psrcDC);

Sorry, I cannot see anything obvious. Also, I am afraid I don't use MFC, so cannot try a similar test.

I want to create a macro that is fully executed at compile time (not runtime). If two values are both defined, then I want to check if they are equal. If at least one of them is not defined, then nothing should happen. I have come halfway, the following works great:
#define VALIDATE_ADDR(ADDR1,ADDR2) _Static_assert(ADDR1 == ADDR2, #ADDR1 " is not equal to " #ADDR2); However, when I try to nest that macro into another macro, then I run into trouble:
#define VALIDATE_ADDR_IF_THEY_BOTH_EXIST(ADDR1,ADDR2) \
#if defined(ADDR1) && defined(ADDR2) \
VALIDATE_ADDR(ADDR1, ADDR2) \
#endif Can someone please help me so I can do checks like this:
#define MY_ADDR_1 (1)
#define MY_ADDR_2 (2)
#define MY_ADDR_3 (3)
#ifdef MY_ADDR_4
#undef MY_ADDR_4
#endif
VALIDATE_ADDR_IF_THEY_BOTH_EXIST(MY_ADDR_1, MY_ADDR_2); VALIDATE_ADDR_IF_THEY_BOTH_EXIST(MY_ADDR_3, MY_ADDR_4);
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK, that's not possible, since the # token is reserved for stringifying macro parameters within the macro expansion.
Also, I see that your definition for VALIDATE_ADDR ends in a semicolon. In general, you do not want to end a macro with a semicolon, since this can lead to, in the best case, a compiler error, and in the worst case, a subtle and hard to find bug.
|

Macros are purely compile time. If you want runtime checks then use functions. Macros such as the above tend to be more trouble than they are worth.
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean? I've clearly stated I want compile time execution, not runtime execution of this macro. Are you thinking of the _Static_assert function? It is executed at compile time, I think it's a feature built into the gcc compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry I misread the question. I have tried a number of variants but cannot get it to work. it would appear that #define statements are not accepted inside a macro definition.
|
|
|
|
|
Btw, I don't need the VALIDATE_ADDR macro for anything, it's perfectly fine to replace it with the _Static_assert directly, if that makes anything easier.

I have some hard coded strings which I wanted to add to the String Table and load that string from the string table.
From the resource view, i go to the string table and gave ID,value and caption there.
and tries to load by doing this.
CString temp;
temp.LoadString(IDS_STRING1);
But its giving me IDS_STRING1 is undefined. What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
