Well it is not designed to be a general purpose macro processor.
You might want to try something like m4 instead.

Or any other that are already general-purpose macro processors:

Thank you for your reply.

That's right. Therefore, I am currently using my own parser.
Nobody needs fix, so you can close this topic.

However, the cause of the bug seems to be a mistake in the pointer count as:
while(++p) <-> while(p++)

I already read the document:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlineDocscpp

I have used a little M4 in Autotools. Certainly POSIX, portable, real macro,
but minor. I tried to provide a mechanism to customize to ordinary users using
the CPP.
