RE: Debug define name
Hi Joel,
>Hi Eljay. The working draft I have access to [1] refers to "double underscore[s]" (i.e. two consecutive underscores) in 17.6.3.3.2, implying that e.g. MY__MACRO would be reserved but MY_OTHER_MACRO would not. Is that the rule you're referring to?

Yes, you are correct. Good catch.
My apologies, I was not clear. I meant (but did not explicitly state) two *adjacent* underscores.
__RESERVED
RESERVED__
ALSO__RESERVED
AND_THIS_IS_RESERVED__
_RESERVED
THIS_IS_NOT_RESERVED_
Sincerely,
--Eljay

Hi Eljay. The working draft I have access to [1] refers to "double
underscore[s]" (i.e. two consecutive underscores) in 17.6.3.3.2, implying
that e.g. MY__MACRO would be reserved but MY_OTHER_MACRO would not. Is
that the rule you're referring to?
