semicolon for define

[Jarod42]

`;` is used as separator for C/C++ Compiler options and in Preprocessors. (probably not the only place though).

How can we "escape" it for regular use?

Code: Select all

-D"SEMICOLON=;"

Basically passing "strings" as macros, should be double wrapped, so it should be done like this:

Code: Select all

-DSEP=\"";"\"

The problem is that CodeLite does not parse this correctly in the project settings -> compiler -> pre-processor section

I did fix that in git master, but this is not released yet

My problem is semi colon, I succeed to escape quote (normally).

Will look at the fix later.
