Sorry if this is a stupid question but it eludes me. In the
following, what is THING? What is SOME_THING?
#ifndef THING
#define THING
#endif
#ifndef SOME_THING
#define SOME_THING THING *
#endif
Is this equivalent to:
alias thing = void;
alias someThing = thing*;
Thanks,

Hi Andrew
This is why need to learn more about C and C++ when I want to
port them to D. You can get a bit of reading about C preprocessor
here:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_preprocessors.htm
Regarding your question: I've been porting some C code with
macros, they can be translated into D as aliases, functions,
structs, templates, mixins etc. So maybe an excerpt from the real
code would be more straight forward.
