Here's a smaller reproducer of my code:
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
struct mystruct {
int a;
int param1;
int param2;
};
#define mycase 5, 5
#define mytest_1(test) \
mystruct{ 1, test }, \
mystruct{ 2, test }
#define mytest_2(test) \
mystruct{ 3, test }, \
mystruct{ 4, test }
#define mytest_all(test) \
mytest_1(test), \
mytest_2(test)
void check(std::vector<mystruct> a) {
for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
std::cout << i << ": " << a[i].a << " " << a[i].param1 << " " << a[i].param2 << std::endl;
}
}
int main() {
check(std::vector<mystruct>{mytest_1(mycase), mytest_2(mycase)}); // works fine
check(std::vector<mystruct>{mytest_all(mycase)}); // doesn't work
return 0;
}
compiler produces the following errors (I'm using g++ 7.4.0):
test.cpp:32:50: error: macro "mytest_1" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
check(std::vector<mystruct>{mytest_all(mycase)});
... ^
test.cpp:21:5: error: 'mytest_1' was not declared in this scope
mytest_1(test), \
^
test.cpp:32:33: note: in expansion of macro 'mytest_all'
check(std::vector<mystruct>{mytest_all(mycase)});
^~~~~~~~~~
... # some more errors
As far as I understand from the error message, it's because #define mycase 5, 5 consists of more than 1 argument, so mytest_all is being unfolded into something like this: mytest_1(5, 5).
Is there a way to define mytest_all in another way to make it work? Taking into account that i cannot change mytest_1. Thanks!
