Push/Pop Macro Pragmas (Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC))

#### 6.5.14 Push/Pop Macro Pragmas ¶

For compatibility with Microsoft Windows compilers, GCC supports ‘`#pragma push_macro("macro_name")`’ and ‘`#pragma pop_macro("macro_name")`’.

`#pragma push_macro("macro_name")` ¶

  This pragma saves the value of the macro named as macro_name to the top of the stack for this macro.

`#pragma pop_macro("macro_name")` ¶

  This pragma sets the value of the macro named as macro_name to the value on top of the stack for this macro. If the stack for macro_name is empty, the value of the macro remains unchanged.

For example:

    #define X  1
    #pragma push_macro("X")
    #undef X
    #define X -1
    #pragma pop_macro("X")
    int x [X];

In this example, the definition of X as 1 is saved by `#pragma push_macro` and restored by `#pragma pop_macro`.
