So "#define" in the replacement list would be illegal unless 'define' was a parameter, in which case it would stringify it. I don't think what you're trying to do is possible in general with gcc, but I could be wrong. Maybe if you explain in more detail why you would need such a thing, someone would be able to offer an alternative. Brian
