But, as this is Q&A-style article, I've found the solution.
The final result looks as follows:
TEST_BXI_MACRO_STRING(BXI_OS);
TEST_BXI_MACRO_STRING(BXI_ARCH);
TEST_BXI_MACRO_I32 (BXI_BITS);
TEST_BXI_MACRO_EXISTS_WEAK(BXI_ARCH_X32); // _WEAK as we don't need to fail
TEST_BXI_MACRO_EXISTS_WEAK(BXI_ARCH_X64);
The result:

Let us see every one of them closely
TEST_BXI_MACRO_STRING
This one is pretty simple:
#define TEST_BXI_MACRO_STRING(name) \
do \
{ \
print_macro_name(#name); \
if (!TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED(#name, name(1))) \
print_macro_undefined_exit(); \
if (strlen(name "") == 0) \
print_macro_undefined_exit(); \
print_macro_value_string(name ""); \
} \
while (0)
We just using the idea that C allows const strings auto-concatenation. So when the macro exists we will receive
#define MACRO "Content"
"Content" "" = "Content"
and when it doesn't
"" = ""
Then we look at the length of the resulting string, and when it's 0 - bingo, macro is not defined. This will NOT work for "" macro, but this special case could be checked with TEST_BXI_MACRO_EXISTS
TEST_BXI_MACRO_I32
#define TEST_BXI_MACRO_I32(name) \
do \
{ \
print_macro_name(#name); \
if (!TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED(#name, name(1))) \
print_macro_undefined_exit(); \
if ((5 * name + 1) == 5) \
print_macro_undefined_exit(); \
print_macro_value_signed(name + 0); \
} \
while (0)
NOTE: you can similarly create ...MACRO_U32 version just by replacing the printer formatter.
Here we use the fact that '+' operator could be unary AND binary.
Let us simulate three cases:
#define MACRO (10)
In this case the complete formula will look as follows:
5 * 10 + 1 => 50 + 1 => 51
#define MACRO (0)
In this case the multiplication fades out:
5 * 0 + 1 => 0 + 1 => 1
In some cases you can use this for additional check if the defined macro is 0 (like for preprocessing options and stuff)
#define MACRO
This case shows some math magic:
5 * + 1 => 5 * (+1) => 5 * 1 => 5
As +1 is interpreted as simple 1 we receive 5.
TEST_BXI_MACRO_EXISTS
#define TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED_I(strstr, fnc) (strcmp(#fnc, strstr "(1)"))
#define TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED(str, fnc) TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED_I(str, fnc)
#define TEST_BXI_MACRO_EXISTS(name) \
do \
{ \
print_macro_name(#name); \
if (!TEST_BXI_MACRO_DEFINED(#name, name(1))) \
print_macro_undefined_exit(); \
else \
print_macro_defined(); \
} \
while (0)
This implementation uses the fact that the string value of macro should not expand same as its name (as #define A A is useles)
Additional functions
For those who want the printing functions, here they are:
void print_macro_name(const char * name)
{
printf(" checking: %-20s: ", name);
}
void print_macro_undefined_exit(void)
{
printf("\033[1;31mUNDEFINED\033[0m\n");
exit(1);
}
void print_macro_defined(void)
{
printf("\033[1;33mDEFINED\033[0m\n");
}
void print_macro_undefined(void)
{
printf("\033[1;32mUNDEFINED\033[0m\n");
}
void print_macro_value_string(const char * value)
{
printf("\"%s\"\n", value);
}
void print_macro_value_signed(i32 value)
{
printf("%d\n", value);
}
void print_macro_value_unsigned(u32 value)
{
printf("%u\n", value);
}
