VC++ macro definition ## operator



I am trying to port our solution from VS2010 to VS2017 and have hit this compilation error with the macro definition involving token pasting operator. Here is the code below


#include “stdafx.h”

#define TEST_MACRO(str)

_T(“Error”) ## str ## _T(“””);


int main()

TEST_MACRO(“ check “);
return 0;



This compiles fine in VS2010 but fails in VS2017/VS2015. It doesn’t seem to recognize _T(“””) following str ##. I am using “multi byte character set” and hence _T(x) resolves to x ( in tchar.h ).



Can someone help me understand this issue?





for what you use _T at all ?

_T





Is it because you are using the “ char - replace with " Also you might need to #include <tchar.h> for the _T

@RbMm: So long as you don't define it yourself, it's fine. Yes, didn't read the code in the question carefully enough. My bad.

Try this variant:


#define TEST_MACRO(str)

_T("Error") _T(str) _T(""");



Using ## you concatеnate your strings and for compiler it looks like: _T("Error")" check "_T("""). And " check "_T is a problem here. It is an user defined literal _T which is undefined


##


_T("Error")" check "_T(""")


" check "_T


_T





Thank you @Lex Sergeev. This solved the issue. Also using this expression with ## operator also seems to work fine. _T("Error") ## _T(str) ## _T(""").

Why is _T("Error") ## _T(str) ## _T(""") not an issue? _T(str) gets preprocessed to str which is "check", so the compiler should still see " check "_T

_T("Error") ## _T(str) ## _T(""")


" check "_T



You don't need the ##. Concatenating string literals is pointless.


##



"foo" "bar" "baz" is equivalent to "foobarbaz".


"foo" "bar" "baz"


"foobarbaz"



More likely it's stuck on the left double sharp as it tries to concatenate a closing parenthesis and str to produce a token. Have you tried to remove it?


str


#define TEST_MACRO(str) _T(“Error”) str ## _T(“””);

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
