I am working on something that I think's a bit over my head, but I'm
persistent and computers are at least supposed to be logical, so I ought to
have a chance.

I have a complex web of #defines that are all interdependent and I want to
find out what they end up being set to.  What I'm looking for is something
like a .message directive so that if the compiler compiles that line I can
print a message and know that's how it proceeded.  Being spoiled (FORTH) I
feel I ought to be able to make the compiler talk while it's working.  Silly
me, but anyway I'd settle for this ability to output messages.  Yes I will
probably devise some trick by forcing an error but I'm looking for an actual
reliable simple intentionally-put-there-as-a-feature way.  

It doesn't link so I can't do any run-time message tricks.

It's not my code so no need for lectures about that.

What would  you  do?

Barry
