[net.unix-wizards] #define Question

ams@hou4b.UUCP (Andrew Shaw) (08/15/84)

I want to use the C preprocessor (sVr2) in order to change all
function calls of the form foobar() to calls of the form
foobar(x,y,z).  However the obvious solution
	#define	foobar() foobar (x, y, z)
	...
	foobar();	/* want to have foobar(x, y, z) here */
does not work: cpp complains that the call has an incorrect number
of arguments.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the
preprocessor to not interpret the #define as a macro definition,
but rather as a straight text replacement?

	Thanks,
