Is there a way I can do this without using #instructions programmed outside the macro definition?
As I said, I don't see how to do it in pure C++. But if we go away from pure C++ macro, if you use a code generator / custom preprocessor (modifying boost.wave?), it seems quite feasable, and in a very portable manner. Personnaly I think a code generator would do the trick without difficulties (use boost.spirit to roll it quick!).
Eg : struct X { TRACK(NameOfTheMacroToTrack)
fn() { NameOfTheMacroToTrack(X,Y,Z)) }
TRACKEND(NameOfTheMacroToTrack) };
Seems ok, isn't it? I think with only the first TRACK it is even possible to do it easily. - Be sure to ignore comments thought -.
FWIW, Wave allows to add your own #pragma directives easily (as long as they follow the format #pragma wave option[(values)] where [...] means 'optional'. See libs/wave/samples/preprocess_pragma_output for an (unrelated) example showing how to define your own #pragma. Regards Hartmut --------------- Meet me at BoostCon www.boostcon.com
