that all being said, i really don't think it's a hard feature to implement.... like i said, just whenever there is an 1) evaluation in the conditional directives or 2) #define is called, look for "eval", if there, evaluate the expression, then substitute token.
It will definitely be harder than you think. Lots of changes like this are easy enough when described at a high level of abstraction, but the implementation details are complex. And I agree with others, this is an undesirable extension to the language regardless of difficulty of implementation.
it'll just take me a long time to know how to work with setting all the flags, attributes, and working with the structs, so it's hard for me to do by myself.
I discourage the effort, I don't think the result, even if you do achieve a working version, would ever be accepted. Better to spend your effort figuring out more appropriate ways to solve the problem.
