That was what I wanted to do at first, but I don't think it's possible. First of all, on Linux at least, we invoke the preprocessor with -traditional, so concatenation is not available. That could be changed.
Without -traditional, CPP doesn't like the # characters in the names of our primops. If you see how to get around that issue, please let me know :) Geoff On 02/15/2013 11:08 AM, Gábor Lehel wrote: > Could it be done with CPP macros perhaps, instead of a separate code > generator program?
