How to stringify an expression in C

Question

Is there a way to evaluate an expression before stringification in c?

example:

#define stringify(x)  #x
...
const char * thestring = stringify( 10 *          


        

Answer 1

You could write a script (perl?) to use as preprocessor which recognizes the strings to evaluate, evaluates them and then it calls the true cpp on the "evaluated" file.

Maybe it could work.
