Oct 28, 2009 · Two special cases (1) static const is preferred within a class scope for class specific constants; (2) namespace or anonymous scope const is preferred over #define. I prefer Enums. Because it is hybrid of both. Doesn't occupy space unless you create a variable of it.
Dec 22, 2009 · 17. Constants allow you to specify a datatype, which is (usually) an advantage. Macros are much more flexible, and therefore can get you into much more trouble if you're not careful. Best practice is to use constants as much as possible, and use #define only when you really need a macro, not just a named literal value.
Jun 8, 2011 · In general, you can write a multi-line define using the line-continuation character, \. So e.g. #define MY_MACRO printf( \. "I like %d types of cheese\n", \. 5 \. ) But you cannot do that with your first example. You cannot split tokens like that; the << left-shift operator must always be written without any separating whitespace, otherwise it ...
The difference is that #define is processed by the preprocessor doing what amounts to simple text replacement. Const values defined like this are not visible for the actual compiler, while a variable defined with the const modifier is an actual typed "variable" (well not really that variable). The disadvantage of #define is that is replaces ...
Jul 26, 2015 · In order to create a named constant in C you should use either macros (#define) or enums. In fact, C language has no constants, in the sense that you seem to imply. (C is significantly different from C++ in this regard) In C language the notions of constant and constant expression are defined very differently from C++.
Feb 15, 2017 · I was wondering how I could define a really long string over the multiple lines. I tried so many different patterns, but none of them is working.. Here is my code. #define EXAMPLE "
Oct 30, 2013 · 14. In C# #define macros, like some of Bernard's examples, are not allowed. The only common use of #define / #if s in C# is for adding optional debug only code. For example: static void Main(string[] args) //this only compiles if in DEBUG. Console.WriteLine("DEBUG") //this only compiles if not in DEBUG.
Jun 2, 2015 · Declaring a constant with #define is a superior alternative to using literals and magic numbers (that is, code is much better off with a value defined as #define NumDaysInWeek (7) than simply using 7), but not a superior alternative to defining proper constants. You should declare a constant instead of #define -ing it, for the following reasons:
But if you've actually looked at the output carefully and know what you are doing, you might be right, which is why it's often used in the Linux kernel. Another reason is that macros are typeless, so you might do: #define foo(x,t) do { t[x] = 0; } while (0) which will work for any type t. Lack of type checking is often a disadvantage, but it ...
