Re: Computed Values in Preprocessor


You mistakenly believe that gcc@gcc.gnu.org is a forum for beginner
questions, but this appears to be nabble.com's fault.

No.  C doesn't et you do that.

nabble.com is apparently calling this mailing list "the gcc - General
forum", which is wrong.  It is only for developers and testers of the
gcc compiler itself; it is not a place for developers who merely use
gcc to write programs to get their questions answered, except for those
questions that are so technical that only compiler developers can answer.
