maybe it's just me, but to me, thats really really bad, the compiler effectivly changes your code.
#include <iostream>#define ERROR_MESSAGE( error_message ) "Error: " #error_message int main(){ ::std::cout << ERROR_MESSAGE( divide by zero ); // Same as ::std::cout << "Error: divide by zero";}Quote:Original post by RipTornvoid main(){ doStuff("I" "am" "fine");}
is also fine.
const char* helpText = "This is some multi-line help text that you wouldn't want to squeeze onto one \n""line in the source code. Think about how you'd have to lay out a string like this \n""if C/C++ didn't support automatic concatenation of string literals. The concatenation \n""happens at compile time, not at runtime, so the compiler isn't changing your code at \n""all, it's just saving you from having lines hundreds of characters long in your source. \n";char * array[] ={ "1", "2", "3", "4" "5", "6"}; Quote:Original post by Polymorphic OOPLegality of void main().
Actually that is not fine, since void main is neither valid C nor C++. The main function must have the return type int in C and C++ (though many non-compliant compilers support void main, it is not standard).

I knew about that. I think it's great for breaking apart long lines, to keep the code neat and readable. Don't remember how I first found out about it though.
Then again, I haven't really used it since I started using C++ streams, I just do something like this:
cout << "I"
<< " am "
<< " fine " << endl;
In order to break up any long character strings and keep things readable.
Fun stuff!
