I am trying to use boost::wave as a preprocessor for LSL, a language used in the virtual world Second Life.
There is a data type there for collections of data, but it can only be accessed through functions such as llList2String(list,iterator); I wanted to define macros that would allow me to do something like #define x[y] llList2String(x,y), however, wave as it stands does not seem to have any immediately obvious way to do this.
As Wave is a preprocessor conforming to the C++ Standard this is not possible. But you can define your macro like #define x(y) llList2String(x,y) if that's an option. OTOH, Wave is open source, so you should be able to find the corresponding code to add your syntax. Do you want _all_ macros to be defined using the [] syntax or is this something you want to have additionally to the 'normal' function style syntax?
