<p>Sounds like the rich kid version of me.<p>Parents students and teachers treated me like shit throughout elementary school, went to a new school and decided I wasn't gonna take it anymore.<p>Started misbehaving and getting suspended literally all the time, had over 400 disciplinary actions on my school recorded, got expelled from a few schools then expelled from the whole district, as in they just wouldn't let me go to that high school at all...<p>Turned myself around after choking my sister when I was 15 and damn near got arrested for it.<p>As in, I was sitting in the back of a cop car, not handcuffed but they patted me down, bawling my eyes out.<p>Thankfully my sister didn't say a word to the cop and that's when I decided I had to change.</p>

<p>>  - I wanted a form to register new types, so it could work for user-defined types;<p>>  - the C pre-processor knows nothing about lists that can be expanded multiple times;<p>I'm actually working on both features as Clang extensions.<p>#repeat, a preprocessor directive to loop, can be combined with _Pragma(push_macro/pop_macro) to create lists by redefining a macro.<p>and currently #increment, though I think I want to expand on this so that other macros can be redefined more easily to create lists via push/pop macro.<p>The reason push_macro/pop_macro pragmas can't work, is the macro has to be undefined and redefined, and the value then pushed onto a stack in the compiler.<p>and you can't redefine a macro in the body of another macro directly.<p>so I've been thinking about maybe a _Pragma(redefine_macro(MacroToRedefine, NewValueForRedefinedMacro))<p>but I don't want it to be limited to the _Pragma area of the compiler, I want it to be eventually standardized.<p>I've been talking to a friend at WG14 who suggested making it a "Preprocessor Expression, like `__has_c_attribute` and `defined()`<p>So that's the area I've been working on recently for the Increment/Redefine PE lately.</p>

<p>that's a K&R style function definition.<p>modern syntax is:<p><pre><code>    char *Combine(char *S, char *T) {

        ...
    }
</code></pre>
which means the Combine function returns a string (char pointer), and takes as arguments two strings, S and T.</p>

<p>Hey guys,<p>How likely would the standard be to accept a proposal to add compile time reflection to the preprocessor, or even adopt C++'s constexpr?<p>My use case is creating a global array in a header from static compound literals in multiple source files at compile time, and outside of some crazy clang-tblgen type solution, or very platform specific linker hacks, it's completely unsupported by C.</p>
