Multi-statement Macros in C++

Question

In C++, is it possible to make a multi-statement macro with nested if statements inside of it like the one below? I\'ve be

If you're using C++ you should avoid using macros altogether. They are not type-safe, they're not namespace-aware, they're hard to debug and just they're plain messy.

If you need a type-independent function, use templates:

template 
bool match_symbol(T symbol, T token) {
    if(something == symbol){
        if( symbol == '-'){
        }else if (symbol != '-'){
        }
    ...

or if the parameters can be different types:

template 
bool match_symbol(T symbol, V token) {
    if(something == symbol){
        if( symbol == '-'){
        }else if (symbol != '-'){
        }
    ...
