Lines: 15 C preprocessing resembles LISP character macros. Different interpreters have different approaches, but surely some model could be found here. The main difference between normal LISP macros, and the C preprocessor, is that mostly LISP macros replace a syntactic unit (S-expression), with another syntactic unit. C macros frequently include fragments of syntax in their expansions. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ cmm (carl m mikkelsen) | (617)657-8720x2310 Pixel Computer Incorporated | 260 Fordham Road | {allegra|ihnp4|cbosgd|ima|genrad|amd|harvard}\ Wilmington, Ma. 01887 | !wjh12!pixel!pixadv!cmm
