    overriding , in use of macros

    Is it possible to pass something containing a comma as an argument for a macro?

    Some options (there may be more):
    1. If the comma is inside parentheses it will not be considered an argument
    Code:
    #define macro(args) function args
    macro((1,2))
    2. Maybe if you pass the argument as a macro name (not sure if this works)
    Code:
    #define argument something, with, a, comma
    macro(argument)
    3. If that doesn't work make it a function:
    Code:
    #define argument() something, with, a, comma
    #define macro(arg) do_something(arg())
    macro(argument)

    thanks,
    #define COMMA ,
    seemed to do the trick.
