I want to embed a preprocessor directive into a function name. Basically I want to make a macro that takes a preprocessor define as argument and concatenates it's defined VALUE to get a function name.
Basically this:
#define PREFIX foo
#define CALL(P, x) _##P_bar(x)
...then
CALL(PREFIX, x) should become _foo_bar(x)
Unfortunately this results in _P_bar instead of _foo_bar.
Is it possible to make it work as above?
The C standard defines special behavior for macro parameters immediately preceded and followed by ## operator. In such case they are not fully expanded. This is why your code did not behave as you expected. To further expand a parameter, you have to use it in a way that it is not immediately preceded or followed by ## operator. Try the following:
#define PREFIX foo
#define CALL2(P,x) _##P##_bar(x)
#define CALL(P, x) CALL2(P,x)
CALL(PREFIX, x)
