Item 34. Preprocessor Macros

I l @ ve RuBoard

Difficulty: 4

Preprocessor macros are part of C++'s heritage from C. This Item considers whether they are still relevant in the modern C++ scheme of things.

With flexible features such as overloading and type-safe templates available, why would a C++ programmer ever write a preprocessor directive like " #define "?
