Thanks a lot. I was trying to write macro that generates: enum type and
procedure to map value of this enum to related string. I decided to port game
based on Freeciv. I'm only developer of this game and introducing a new
features takes too long. Freeciv (and my game) is write in C and uses
x-includes to generate code on compile time by macros. Given x-includes header
takes as „argument” definitions of enum values and related strings by checking
in the chain next enum value and related string is defined. It request to name
definition in strict way, so this is good example:
#define SPECENUM_VAL0 PLAYER_GREEN
#define SPECENUM_STR0 "Green"
#define SPECENUM_VAL1 PLAYER_RED
#define SPECENUM_STR1 "Red"
.
.
.
#define SPECENUM_VALN PLAYER_COLOR_n
#define SPECENUM_STRN "Some color"
#include "genereate_specenum.h"
Run
I need to understood how macros in nim works to do similar thinks
(generate_specenum.h generates enum type and functions translates enum value to
related string and vice-versa). I found nim function, which converts enum value
to string, but it do similar thing to nim's quote (or quoteStr - I don't
remember) or hash/double hash (I don't remember) operator in C preprocesor.
