VLC 模块构造宏的展开（access_output_http为例）

宏的定义：

vlc_module_begin ()
    set_description( N_("HTTP stream output") )
    set_capability( "sout access", 0 )
    set_shortname( "HTTP" )
    add_shortcut( "http", "https", "mmsh" )
    set_category( CAT_SOUT )
    set_subcategory( SUBCAT_SOUT_ACO )
    add_string( SOUT_CFG_PREFIX "user", "",
                USER_TEXT, USER_LONGTEXT, true )
    add_password( SOUT_CFG_PREFIX "pwd", "",
                  PASS_TEXT, PASS_LONGTEXT, true )
    add_string( SOUT_CFG_PREFIX "mime", "",
                MIME_TEXT, MIME_LONGTEXT, true )
    add_bool( SOUT_CFG_PREFIX "metacube", false,
              METACUBE_TEXT, METACUBE_LONGTEXT, true )
    set_callbacks( Open, Close )
vlc_module_end ()

宏展开后：展开方式，VS中属性－〉C/C++/预处理器：预处理到文件　选择　是　编译后在相应的工程文件目录下有*.i文件，从中可取出以下宏的展开部分。例子里是VLC2.2.6

plugins/access_output/access_output_http.c
