In MSVC & C#, #pragma region
can be used to label a code section.
Similarly, in GCC/Clang, #pragma mark
can accomplish the same thing.
Is it possible to define a single macro such as CODELABEL(label)
which will work for both compilers?
Basically, I'd like to avoid having to do the following:
#ifdef _WIN32
#pragma region Variables
#else
#pragma mark Variables
#endif
bool MyBool;
int MyInt;
#ifdef _WIN32
#pragma region Methods
#else
#pragma mark Methods
#endif
void MyMethod();
void AnotherMethod();
... and instead, do something like this:
CODELABEL( Variables )
bool MyBool;
int MyInt;
CODELABEL( Functions )
void MyMethod();
void AnotherMethod();
Is something like this possible?
Yes, in C++11, you can use _Pragma
, since using #pragma
in a macro definition is not allowed:
#ifdef _WIN32
#define PRAGMA(x) __pragma(x) //it seems like _Pragma isn't supported in MSVC
#else
#define PRAGMA(x) _Pragma(#x)
#endif
#ifdef _WIN32
#define CODELABEL(label) PRAGMA(region label)
#else
#define CODELABEL(label) PRAGMA(mark label)
#endif
The dance with PRAGMA
is to satisfy _Pragma
requiring a string literal, where side-by-side concatenation of two string literals (e.g., "mark" "section label"
) doesn't work.
According to this topic, the following should work.
#define STR_HELPER(x) #x
#define STR(x) STR_HELPER(x)
#ifdef _WIN32
#define LABEL region
#else
#define LABEL mark
#endif
and then
#pragma STR(LABEL) Variables
bool MyBool;
int MyInt;
#pragma STR(LABEL) Functions
void MyMethod();
void AnotherMethod();
