Not very right. It means that if there's a single defining occurrence of A
(perhaps in a header file) but multiple applied occurrences, each applied
occurrence must be bracked with convert(codepage) ... convert(pop)
I really wish CPP supported such as:
#define A; \
#pragma convert(codepage); \
"foo" \
#pragma convert(pop);
(like any multi-line macro) so that:
char bar[] A;
would expand to:
char bar[]
#pragma convert(codepage)
"foo"
#pragma convert(pop)
;
I once used a language in which such gyrations were possible: macro expansion
could generate preprocessor commands. It was wonderful.
