This is very nice! I've done a little more research and discovered that there's also a __COUNTER__ macro that is available in gcc 4.3+. Before I realized that it was only available in gcc 4.3, I wrote this little macro: #define _CONCAT1(a, b) a##b #define CONCAT(a, b) _CONCAT1(a, b) #ifdef __COUNTER__ # define UNIQUIFY(prefix) CONCAT(prefix, __COUNTER__) #else # define UNIQUIFY(prefix) CONCAT(prefix, __LINE__) #endif However, this could lead to code might compile on gcc 4.3+, but not compile prior, so this is bad, right?
