We are looking for a way to implement C language #define directive for
expressions:


      #define <idFunction>([<arg list>]) [<exp>]


example:


      #define Max( x, y ) ( x > y)? x: y


Do you know how to do this using standard lex & yacc ? Any samples ?


regards,


A.L.
[There's nothing in lex or yacc that makes it automatic, but macro
expansion is pretty easy, you keep a stack of sources with the real
input at the bottom and the macros you're expanding on top of that.
