    <p><code>VALUE</code> is defined as <code>SUBSTITUTE</code>. The definition of <code>VALUE</code> is not aware at any point that <code>SUBSTITUTE</code> has also been defined. After <code>VALUE</code> is replaced, whatever it was replaced by will be scanned again, and potentially more replacements applied then. All <code>define</code>s exist in their own conceptual space, completely unaware of each other; they <em>only</em> interact with one another at the site of expansion in the main program text (<code>define</code>s are directives, and thus not part of the program proper).</p> <p>The rules for the preprocessor are specified alongside the rules for C proper in the language standard. The standard documents themselves cost money, but you can usually download the "final draft" for free; the latest (C11) can be found here: <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf</a></p> <p>For at-home use the draft is pretty much equivalent to the real thing. Most people who quote the standard are actually looking at copies of the draft. (Certainly it's closer to the actual standard than any real-world C compiler is...)</p> <p>There's a more accessible description of the macro rules in the GCC manual: <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Self_002dReferential-Macros.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Self_002dReferential-Macros.html</a> </p> <hr> <p>Additionally... I couldn't tell you much about the Boost preprocessor library, not having used it, but there's a beautiful pair of libraries by the same authors called <a href="http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Order" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Order and Chaos</a> that are very "clean" (as macro code goes) and easy to understand. They're more academic in tone and intended to be pure rather than portable; which <em>might</em> make them easier reading.</p> <p>(Since I don't know Boost PP I don't know how relevant this is to your question <em>but</em>) there's also a good introductory example of the kids of techniques these libraries use for advanced metaprogramming constructs in this answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3136686/is-the-c99-preprocessor-turing-complete">Is the C99 preprocessor Turing complete?</a></p>

    1. COMakes sense. I was under the impression initially that `#include`s somehow had special consideration. I've been an avid user of template metaprogramming for a while now and have only recently gotten interested in the PP. I actually read the post you linked to earlier, and straight-copy-pasted the sample, only to find that it wouldn't work under my version of GCC nor MSVC (which is reportedly broken with regards to `__VA_ARGS__` expansion anyway, but even with repeated applications of the `#define EXPAND(...) __VA_ARGS__` workaround it failed to work). I guess that's for another question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
