Charizing Operator (#@)

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Charizing Operator (#@). Microsoft Specific

The charizing operator can be used only with arguments of macros. If #@ precedes a formal parameter in the definition of the macro, the actual argument is enclosed in single quotation marks and treated as a character when the macro is expanded. For example:

#define makechar
(x)  #@x  

causes the statement

a = makechar(b);  

to be expanded to

a = 'b';  

The single-quotation character cannot be used with the charizing operator.
