Why not use two, one to assign and other to compare.
gcc source.c -DMODEL_STRING='"XYZ-123"' -DMODEL_NUMBER=XYZ_123
-o source.o
and in your program you can do both:
const char *ModelString=MODEL_STRING;
#if MODEL_NUMBER==123
#include<stdio.h>
#define XYZ_123 123
main()
{
#if MODEL_NUMBER==XYZ_123
char *z = "I got XYZ_123";
#endif
char *p = MODEL_STRING;
#if MODEL_NUMBER!=XYZ_123
char *z = "I DID NOT get XYZ_123";
#endif
printf("%s, %s\n", z, p);
}
Hope this helps.
