I wanted to let a configure script give me a service name or a port number, like: cc -DPORT=\"junk\" server.c or cc -DPORT=2189 server.c But I needed to be able to check in the C code to see which one I got: /* $Compile(1): cc -DPORT=\"123\" %f * $Compile(1): cc -DPORT=123 %f */ main() { static char a[] = { PORT }; if (1 != sizeof(a) || sizeof(PORT) != sizeof(PORT+1)) { printf("string %s\n", a); } else { printf("int %d\n", PORT); } exit(0); } -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. kayessbee, Kevin Braunsdorf, ksb@cc.purdue.edu, pur-ee!ksb, purdue!ksb
