Macros support #50

Closed diraven closed 6 years ago

diraven commented 7 years ago

Plugin Version

1.0.9

Summary

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/PreProcessor_Commands#Arguments

Syntax support would be nice for defined macros.

Detail

For example: script_macros.hpp:

#define GVAR getVariable

And script.sqf

#include "script_macros.hpp"
_vehData = _x GVAR ["vehicle_info_owners",[]];

will produce syntax error.

To be honest, i really dislike the way AL uses macros for shortening commands, and i can't see a use in that except pure laziness and planed annoyance.

As far as i can remember, macros are currently handled as global-variables and not as its own thing except some exceptions. There fore, until Macros are implemented properly as its own thing you will have that problem. _vehData = GVAR(_x,"vehicle_info_owners",[]); would work flawless.

Fair enough.
