iOS create macro

Question

I have a piece of code I'm using fairly often and would like to make a macro out of it. I'm not exactly sure how to do that though. Here's the code I want to use

UIImage *titleImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myLogo.png"];
UIImageView *titleImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:titleImage];
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleImageView;
[titleImageView release];

I want to define this block as a macro so I can later say for instance addImage(...); Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

#define MY_MACRO( img ) \
    {\
        UIImage *titleImage = [UIImage imageNamed:img]; \
        UIImageView *titleImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:titleImage]; \
        self.navigationItem.titleView = titleImageView; \
        [titleImageView release];\
    }

Use it like this:

MY_MACRO( @"myLogo.png" )

The use of {} creates a scope block, which will prevent problems with variable redefinitions (if you have variables with the same name, where you use the macro).
