    <p>I wrote the following code in plain <strong>C</strong>:</p> <pre><code>#define _cat(A, B) A ## _ ## B #define cat(A, B) _cat(A, B) #define plus(A, B) cat(cat(plus,__typeof__(A)),__typeof__(B))(A, B) int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { double x = 1, y = 0.5; double r = plus(x, y); printf("%lf",r); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>Here, I would like the macro <code>plus</code> to be expanded becoming a function name which contains the types of the parameters. In this example I would like it to expand the following way</p> <pre><code>double r = plus(x, y) ... /* First becomes*/ double r = cat(cat(plus,double),double)(x, y) ... /* Then */ double r = cat(plus_double,double)(x, y) ... /* And finally */ double r = plus_double_double(x, y) </code></pre> <p>However all I got from the preprocessor is</p> <pre><code>double r = plus___typeof__(x)___typeof(y)(x,y) </code></pre> <p>and gcc will obviously refuse to compile. Now, I know that <strong>typeof</strong> evaluates at compile-time and it is my understanding that a macro is only prevented from being evaluated when it is contained in second macro which directly involves the stringify <code>#</code>and the concatenation <code>##</code> tokens (here's the reason why I split <code>cat</code> in the way you see). If this is right, why doesn't <code>__typeof__(x)</code> get evaluated to double by the preprocessor? Seems to me that the behaviour should be perfectly clear at build time. Shouldn't <code>__typeof__(x)</code> evaluate to <code>double</code> before even going in <code>_cat</code>?</p> <p>I searched and searched but I couldn't find anything... Am I doing something really really stupid?</p> <p>I'm running Mac OS X Mountain Lion but I'm mostly interested in getting it work on any POSIX platform.</p>

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.
