Macro-function to generate macro with prefix (avoid stringification)

Question

Background

I have a project where I have two separate products with near-identical macro names, for which I would like to create a macro-like-function to retrieve the values of the macros quickly. I have written a getTranslation macro-function to take the literal text provided to the "function", which should be treated as a string and a string prefix (shown below).

---

Question

How can I accomplish this operation of taking the arguments supplied to the macro, concatenating them together (with an underscore in the middle), and treating that result as a preprocessor macro instead of a string?

Answer 1

#define getTranslationInternal(x, y)    y ## _ ## x

worked for me on clang, if you drop parentheses around the macro definitions.
