Everything about X macro

C/C++ programming idiom

X macros are an idiomatic usage of programming language macros for generating list-like structures of data or code. They are most useful when at least some of the lists cannot be composed by indexing, such as at compile time. They provide reliable maintenance of parallel lists whose corresponding items must be declared or executed in the same order. Wikipedia →
