i need a macro that will surround its argument with quotes


#define MyMacro(x)  "x"

// example:
// in the source file i will write:
a = MyMacro(abc);

//and the compiler will translate this to:

a = "abc"

is this possible in some way ?

#include <stdio.h>

#define TEST(x) "\""#x"\""

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	printf(TEST(Hello));
	return 0;
}

Interesting... but wouldn't it be easier to just type in the " marks?
