I'd much prefer... hey hey, I'm just joking!!! ;-) Seriously, I don't have
Metrowerks but have you tried adding "superflous" parentheses and/or putting 1
as first addendum? Usually parse errors (dis)appears easily that way.
For Borland (unless you are happy with a warning), you can try (variations on)
this idea:
// There seems to be no way to make Borland honor 5p5
// when evaluating the controlling expression of a #if,
// but it supports sizeof expressions therein.
//
#define BOOST_WORKAROUND(symbol, test) \
((symbol != 0) && \
(1 != sizeof(char[((symbol) test) == -1 ? 0 : 1 + ((symbol) test)])))
Please take no notice of the style, I'm a little in a hurry, and the purpose is
just to describe the idea.
Genny.
