I think this should be determined during the discussion, another possible name is `define_recursive` (but its not requireid to be recursive..) > Unless other implementations also implement the same extension, a significant > number of folks wind up needing to use preprocessor conditionals to skip the > new feature and write fallback code so their macros remain portable Yes, thats problem, every extension even not in preprocessor have same problems, but I think there are many projects now which use only clang and if people like the idea possibly it will be gcc extension too > It's also worth noting that you can write recursive macros in C As far as I know, the maximum that can be done is to code-generate many very difficult-to-understand constructs that allow you to repeat your code up to N times, creating the illusion of recursion and I would like to fix it https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/65851 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
