Preprocessor meta-quotes with eĿlipsis
Read OriginalThe article details a new feature in the eĿlipsis preprocessor called meta-quotes, using characters ⸤ and ⸥ (or digraphs <| and |>) to protect identifiers from macro expansion. It explains how this solves a common C preprocessor problem where token concatenation (##) can lead to unintended macro expansions and name collisions, offering a more robust alternative to C's limited protection rules.
