Simple recursive preprocessor meta-program implementation...

[Chris Thomasson]

Here is a "simple" method for using the preprocessor to generate code via.
recursion... What do you think of my experimental recursion implementation?
Can you compile it?

Any comments are welcome...

P.S. This example supports a max-recursion depth of 5. Of course, the limit
could be hundreds of times larger; whoa, what a big file!

If you want to set a deeper recursion depth you will have to add-on to the
VZPPMETA_DEC and VZPPMETA_RECURSE macros. For instance, if you wanted to
increase the depth from 5 to 6, you would add the following macros:


#define VZPPMETA_DEC_IMPL_I6 5
#define VZPPMETA_DEC_IMPL_D6 7
#define VZPPMETA_DEC_IMPL_N6 0

#define VZPPMETA_RECURSE_IMPL_6(Index, Macro, Param1, Param2) \
Macro(Index, 5, Param1, Param2)
VZPPMETA_RECURSE_IMPL_5(VZPPMETA_INC(Index), Macro, Param1, Param2)




One more thing, I accidentally posted this message to alt.comp.lang.c;
please ignore it.
Sorry!!!!

Thank You
