Re: #define and (brackets)

Correction. On it's own it works, but in a macro it doesn't:

#define SHRX -10
#define SHRY -20
#define SHRINK(rect) rect.DeflateRect(-6-SHRX,6-SHRY)

You get a compile error.

This looks like a bug in MSVC compiler. This program:

void f(int, int) {}

#define SHRX -10
#define SHRY -20
#define SHRINK() f(-6-SHRX,6-SHRY)

int main()
{
SHRINK();
return 0;
}

produces an error in VC (I tried VC7.1 and VC8), but compiles fine with
Comeau. Anybody has later versions handy to check?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
