Unfortunately, // MSVC's C preprocessor is rather non-compliant and requires special // care to make it work. // // Issue 1. // // #define F(x) // F() // // MSVC emits warning C4003 ("not enough actual parameters for macro // 'F'), even though it's a valid macro invocation. This affects the // macros below that take just an "export" parameter, because export // may be empty. // // As a workaround, we can add a dummy parameter and arguments: // // #define F(x,_) // F(,) // // Issue 2. // // #define F(x) G##x // #define Gj() ok // F(j()) // // The correct replacement for "F(j())" is "ok", but MSVC replaces it // with "Gj()". As a workaround, we can pass the result to an // identity macro to force MSVC to look for replacements again.
