I want to write a macro which should compatible with gpc version 2.1 and look like below

#define PAS_EXTERNAL_C(X) asmname 'X'

suppose if i define a macro like above, it should be preprocessed like below

Before preprocessing:

procedure Hello; PAS_EXTERNAL_C(Hello);

After preprocessing:

procedure Hello; asmname 'Hello';

I am worried why #define PAS_EXTERNAL_C(X) asmname 'X' this is not working?

Please help me

Using the Pascal Macro Compiler you can produce the desired results this way.

You define the macro procedure PAS_EXTERNAL_C like this,

%Procedure PAS_EXTERNAL_C (X: code); %begin asmname _quote%x%_quote; %end;

Before macro expansion you would write

procedure Hello; %PAS_EXTERNAL_C (Hello);

After macro expansion you would get

procedure Hello; asmname 'Hello';

as required.
