Macro concat error about runtime

[dedmen]

@SQF#3423 
#define QUOTE(x) #x
#define MODULE ACE_medical
#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(MODULE##x)
#define HIT_STRUCTURAL QGVAR($#structural)
[HIT_STRUCTURAL, 0]

Actual:
[WORK] <ARRAY> ["ACE_medical#$#structural",0]
Expected:
[WORK] <ARRAY> ["ACE_medical$#structural",0]

[X39]

The expected result actually is invalid:
Input File

#define QUOTE(x) #x
#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(ace_test_##x)
#define HIT_STRUCTURAL QGVAR($#structural)
HIT_STRUCTURAL
#define QUOTE2(x) #x
#define QGVAR2(x) QUOTE2(#x)
#define HIT_STRUCTURAL2 QGVAR2($#structural)
HIT_STRUCTURAL2

Output File

#line 1 "C:\Users\marco.silipo\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\X39\missions\test.VR\pptest2.c"



"ace_test_##$#structural"



"#$#structural"

Still, fixed in 9a198e9 (according to arma)

The expected result actually is invalid:

You used different code.

#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(ace_test_##x)

vs

#define MODULE ACE_medical
#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(MODULE##x)

#define QUOTE2(x) #x
#define QGVAR2(x) QUOTE2(#x)
#define HIT_STRUCTURAL2 QGVAR2($#structural)
HIT_STRUCTURAL2

Why are you forcing a # to the start using QUOTE2? That's not what my code did.

[X39]

Double read, just accidentially copied the second Part too 🙈

[X39]

Ahh, now I See, you talk about the second comment you made
Is second still not working as expected I guess?

[dedmen]

Both my reproduction code examples where wrong.

#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(ace_test_##x)
#define QGVAR(x) QUOTE(MODULE##x)
Doesn't work as concat inside a argument for another macro is not evaluated before the sub-macro is called.

Here is real reproduction of the whole macro chain without ommiting parts for simplicity and breaking it because I don'tu understand how the preproc works

#define QUOTE(x) #x
#define PREFIX ACE
#define COMPONENT medical
#define DOUBLES(var1,var2) ##var1##_##var2
#define ADDON DOUBLES(PREFIX,COMPONENT)
#define GVAR(var1) DOUBLES(ADDON,var1)
#define QGVAR(var1) QUOTE(GVAR(var1))
#define HIT_STRUCTURAL QGVAR($#structural)
entry = HIT_STRUCTURAL

That would be example for a config.
