Re: Use of cpp

cpphs aims to be compatible with cpp up to the point where cpp starts doing C-specific things like string splicing, interpreting ' as the start of a character (and whining if the "character" doesn't end), etc. So if your code works with cpp, it ought to work with cpphs. In particular, code like the following should work fine.

#if GHC #define FastInt Int# #define plusInt(x,y) ((x)+#(y)) #else #define FastInt Int #define plusInt(x,y) ((x)+(y)) #endif

[In practice, I'd leave plusInt curried - I just needed an example of a macro with arguments.]

Thanks, looks like cpphs is the way to go. I'll give it a try. Regards -- Adrian Hey
