c++ macros with memory?

Question

Is it possible to define macros

write_foo(A);
and
read_foo();

so that:

WRITE_FOO(hello);

code_block_1;

READ_FOO();

code         


        

Answer 1

Not what you are actually asking for, but if WRITE_FOO was a definition you could get something similar (without context I will just reuse the names, even if they are not so clear on the intent):

#define READ_FOO() WRITE_FOO

#define WRITE_FOO hello
code...[1]
READ_FOO();
code...[2]
#define WRITE_ROO world
code...[3]
READ_FOO();

// will expand to:
code...[1]
hello;
code...[2]
code...[3]
world;
