  2. Oct 28, 2009 · Two special cases (1) static const is preferred within a class scope for class specific constants; (2) namespace or anonymous scope const is preferred over #define. I prefer Enums. Because it is hybrid of both. Doesn't occupy space unless you create a variable of it.

  3. Jun 8, 2011 · In general, you can write a multi-line define using the line-continuation character, \. So e.g. #define MY_MACRO printf( \. "I like %d types of cheese\n", \. 5 \. ) But you cannot do that with your first example. You cannot split tokens like that; the << left-shift operator must always be written without any separating whitespace, otherwise it ...

  6. Mar 4, 2017 · For example: #define SCALE 1. ... scaled_x = x * SCALE; When SCALE is defined as 1 the compiler can eliminate the multiplication as it knows that x * 1 == x, but if SCALE is an (extern) const, it will need to generate code to fetch the value and perform the multiplication because the value will not be known until the linking stage. (extern is ...

Const values defined like this are not visible for the actual compiler, while a variable defined with the const modifier is an actual typed "variable" (well not really that variable). The disadvantage of #define is that is replaces ...

  11. Apr 27, 2023 · 53. #define has many different applications, but your question seems to be about one specific application: defining named constants. In C++ there's rarely a reason to use #define to define named constants. #define is normally widely used in C code, since C language is significantly different from C++ when it comes to defining constants.
