Antimacro
By SPyofgame, history, 4 years ago, In English

Does anyone know any simple website or tool or vscode-extension that replace all macros directly into the source code ? I tried to search on google/vscode-extension something like antimacro ..., remove macro ..., replace macro ... but find no result. Thanks for helping ^^

Expanding macros is work of the preprocessor, which is already there in the compiler. G++ has a flag -E (expand macros). Use it like this:

g++ -E file.cpp

      Inline functions cannot really be expanded as code; think about how you would inline conflicting variable declarations, or return statements. In the compiler they're typically inlined after being translated to the IR.

        Thank ecnerwala can I ask one more question ? Is there such vscode-extension or website that expands the macros directly instead of calling terminal to run g++ -E file.cpp each time ?

          Well, I'm sure you can find (or make!) a VSCode extension to run arbitrary terminal commands. I don't know of one, though.
