Sorry if this has gone around before.
With the Reiser cpp, you can (and "/usr/include/sys/tty.h" does)
#define CTRL(c) ('c'&037)
so that a line such as
CTRL(z)
turns into
('z'&037)
With ANSI cpp, if you keep the define as above and have a line such as
CTRL(z)
it turns into
('c'&037)
which isn't what's wanted.
One possibility is to establish a new macro,
#define Ctrl(c) ((c)&037)
and change all uses such as
CTRL(z)
into uses such as
Ctrl('z')
But. . .is there a way to write an ANSI cpp version of
#define CTRL(c)
that will work like the old Reiser version? If you know,
please mail me the answer. Thanks.
