C++ Macro text manipulation

Question

I would like to write a C++ macro taking arbitrary argument like:

#define MANIP(...) \ 
//Implementation

Such that writing

MANIP(m_a, m_b, m_c);

expands to

f(a, b, c);
g("a", "b", "c");

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for helping me with this seemingly extravagant question :)

Answer 1

I don't believe there will be an easy way to go from m_a to a. However, the stringize operator # is part of standard C and C++.

for example, given

#define STRING(x) #x

then STRING(m_a) will be transformed to "m_a".
