C语言宏实现枚举变量转为字符串描述

在工作中，经常需要打印错误码，错误码一般定义为枚举变量或无符号整型，但是在打印时直接打印出一个枚举变量，并不直观：

The state of system is 1.

如果能打印出一个枚举变量的字符串描述，则要清晰的多：

The state of system is busy.

本文提供一种可扩展的实现枚举变量的字符串描述的方法。

源代码如下：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct
{               
    unsigned id;
    char  *desc;
}MY_DESCRIBE_COMM_TYPE;                            

#define MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_BEGIN(type) static MY_DESCRIBE_COMM_TYPE  MY_describe_desc_##type[]={ 
#define MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_END  {0xffff,"end"} };
#define MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(id,str) {id,#str},  
#define MY_DESCRIBE(type,id) get_desc_by_id(MY_describe_desc_##type,id)  
char * get_desc_by_id(MY_DESCRIBE_COMM_TYPE *desc,unsigned id)
{
   int i=0;
   static char  no_match[10]={0};
   while(desc[i].id!=0xffff)
   {
      if(desc[i].id==id)
          return desc[i].desc;
      i++;
   }
   
   return "can't find the id";
}

typedef  enum
{
  apple,
  pear,
  banana,
}fruit;

typedef  enum
{
  error_reason1,
  error_reason2,
  error_reason3
}error_reason;

MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_BEGIN(error_reason)
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(error_reason1,磁盘空间不够)  #注意这里的字符串描述不用加 ""
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(error_reason2,操作太频繁)
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(error_reason3,系统繁忙)
MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_END


MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_BEGIN(fruit)
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(apple,apple)
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(pear,pear)
MY_DECRIBE_ADD_DESC(banana,banana)
MY_DECRIBE_DECLARE_END

int main()

{
  int a=1;
  printf("%s\n",MY_DESCRIBE(fruit,apple));
  printf("%s\n",MY_DESCRIBE(error_reason,error_reason2));
  printf("%s\n",MY_DESCRIBE(error_reason,5));
  return 0;
}

编译运行：

$ gcc decribe.c 
jie@jix:~/code/ccode$ a.out 
apple
操作太频繁
can't find the id

当新加入一个枚举变量时，只需要添加一组宏就可以轻易实现枚举变量的字符串描述。
