Can a macro test be defined so that test(a, b, c) is replaced by test(G(a), G(b), G(c)), and similarly for any number of arguments?

Are you asking whether it is possible to define a macro `test` such that `test(a, b, c)` is replaced by `test(G(a), G(b), G(c))`? – Eric Postpischil Jan 27 '20 at 14:12

what is `macro` achieving when `test(G(1), G(4.00), G("Hello world"));` is passed and converted to `test(1, 4.00, "Hello world");` ? – TruthSeeker Jan 27 '20 at 14:13

@Eric Postpischil Yes, I want test (a, b, c) to be converted to test(G(a), G(b), G(c)) – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:17

@TruthSeeker I create a dictionary and I just want to put the arguments, and the program added a macro, I recently study C, is this possible? – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:21

When I pass arguments to test, the data types of these arguments are not known to the functions and therefore I need to convert them – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:24

@Paul Ogilvie thanks – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:25

you can indeed do `#define __test(a,b,c) test(G(a), G(b), G(c))` – TruthSeeker Jan 27 '20 at 14:26

@TruthSeeker thanks a lot, I'll try – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:27

1@PaulOgilvie: The text to be recognized for substitution is `test`. – Eric Postpischil Jan 27 '20 at 14:35

There are preprocessor hacks that can accomplish the necessary expansions for a finite limit on the number of arguments. There are a number of questions and answers on Stack Overflow dealing with this. – Eric Postpischil Jan 27 '20 at 14:36

@TruthSeeker I've one question, it works if we have three args, but how can I do something like this for an unlimited number of arguments – Gari Jan 27 '20 at 14:37
