is this possible with macros ?

[whatsup]

i need a macro that will surround its argument with quotes

Code Select Expand


#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 ?

printf(TEST(Hello));
return 0;

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