Oct 28, 2009 · Two special cases (1) static const is preferred within a class scope for class specific constants; (2) namespace or anonymous scope const is preferred over #define. I prefer Enums. Because it is hybrid of both. Doesn't occupy space unless you create a variable of it.
Jun 8, 2011 · In general, you can write a multi-line define using the line-continuation character, \. So e.g. #define MY_MACRO printf( \. "I like %d types of cheese\n", \. 5 \. ) But you cannot do that with your first example. You cannot split tokens like that; the << left-shift operator must always be written without any separating whitespace, otherwise it ...
Dec 22, 2009 · 0. 1) #define's can be considered as tunable parameters that are independent of the datatypes, whereas constant's allow us to mention the datatype. 2) #define's replaces any code that follows that in the main program where ever they are referred to.
Feb 12, 2021 · 2. #define directives create macro substitution, while constexpr variables are special type of variables. They literally have nothing in common beside the fact that before constexpr (or even const) variables were available, macros were sometimes used when currently constexpr variable can be used. But both have wide area of applications which ...
Feb 15, 2017 · I was wondering how I could define a really long string over the multiple lines. I tried so many different patterns, but none of them is working.. Here is my code. #define EXAMPLE "
Oct 30, 2013 · @Ed: When using C++, there is rarely any benefit for using #define over inline functions when creating macros. The idea of "greater speed" is a misconception. With inline functions you get the same speed, but you also get type safey, and no side-effects of preprocessor "pasting" due to the fact that parameters are evaluated before the function ...
The difference is that #define is processed by the preprocessor doing what amounts to simple text replacement. Const values defined like this are not visible for the actual compiler, while a variable defined with the const modifier is an actual typed "variable" (well not really that variable). The disadvantage of #define is that is replaces ...
Mar 4, 2017 · For example: #define SCALE 1. ... scaled_x = x * SCALE; When SCALE is defined as 1 the compiler can eliminate the multiplication as it knows that x * 1 == x, but if SCALE is an (extern) const, it will need to generate code to fetch the value and perform the multiplication because the value will not be known until the linking stage. (extern is ...
Nov 4, 2009 · 810. It depends on what you need the value for. You (and everyone else so far) omitted the third alternative: static const int var = 5; #define var 5. enum { var = 5 }; Ignoring issues about the choice of name, then: If you need to pass a pointer around, you must use (1). Since (2) is apparently an option, you don't need to pass pointers around.
Jul 26, 2015 · 11. Constants should be preferred over define s. There are several advantages: Type safety. While C is a weakly typed languaged, using a define loses all of the type safety, which will allow the compiler to pick up problems for you. Ease of debugging.
