Is it possible for C preprocessor macros to contain preprocessor directives?

Question

I would like to do the equivalent of the following:

#define print_max(TYPE) \\
#  ifdef TYPE##_MAX \\
     printf(\"%lld\\n\", TYPE##_MAX); \\
#  endif

prin         


        

Answer 1

I've tried that before. The problem is that # is already reserved to stringize a macro parameter. It isn't parsed as a preprocessor token like the one in #define.
