I have forgot the macro way for the following, can anyone help please me in this


#define DEF_INIT \
MY_DEF_INIT(INT1, "integer1", mychar1) \
MY_DEF_INIT(INT2, "integer2", mychar2) \
MY_DEF_INIT(INT3, "integer3", mychar3) \

#define MY_DEF_INIT(name, filename, variable)
typedef enum{
DEF_VALUE = 0,
DEF_INIT(name),
MAX_VALUES
}sampleEnum;


int main(){

}

sampleEnum should be preprocessed as following:
typedef enum{
DEF_VALUE = 0,
INT1,
INT2,
INT3,
MAX_VALUES
}sampleEnum;

I dont remember the exact syntax for above.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but as a personal favour to yourself I will not help you to abuse the preprocessor like that - I am certain that you cannot provide a compelling enough argument that doing it this way is worthwhile. You'll thank yourself for just writing out the enum you want.

On the other hand, maybe if you give an overview of what you're really trying to do, you'll get the answer you really want. But helping you do this would be like helping someone gnaw off their own leg - you might do it if their life depended on it, but you'd have to be pretty sure it was life or death.

Please, for your own sanity, just write the enum declaration out how you want it to be.

Also - after having another look - it looks like what you might really want is an array of structs.

John, firstly Im really sorry for my bad language. You are right I need array of stuctures also I got the help from the following link
