i don''t want to write in each files #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_NEW #undef THIS_FILE static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__; #endif i wanted to create a macro so that in the beginning of each files i just have to write DEBUG_MEM, but it doesn''t seem to work. here is my macro : #define DEBUG_MEM \ #ifdef _DEBUG \ #define new DEBUG_NEW \ #undef THIS_FILE \ static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__; \ #endif and here is the error i have when i write DEBUG_NEW error C2121: ''#'' : invalid character : possibly the result of a macro expansion.

Macro commands cannot expand to include other macro commands.

Bet 5 bucks they can?



#define DEBUG_MEM                   \
{                                   \
#ifdef _DEBUG                       \
#define new DEBUG_NEW               \
#undef THIS_FILE                    \
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__; \
}
#endif

the macro is compiling with the {} but if i try to use DEBUG_MEM in my other files it''s still the same error ;(

I think it''s impossible as antareus said.

I bet they cannot. Are you confident enough to raise the stakes, say to US$50 ?
