如何在C / Objective-C中跨多行拆分字符串文字？

本文翻译自：How to split a string literal across multiple lines in C / Objective-C?

I have a pretty long sqlite query: 我有一个很长的sqlite查询：

const char *sql_query = "SELECT statuses.word_id FROM lang1_words, statuses WHERE statuses.word_id = lang1_words.word_id ORDER BY lang1_words.word ASC";

How can I break it in a number of lines to make it easier to read? 如何在多行中打破它以便于阅读？ If I do the following: 如果我执行以下操作：

const char *sql_query = "SELECT word_id
                        FROM table1, table2
                        WHERE table2.word_id = table1.word_id
                        ORDER BY table1.word ASC";

I am getting an error. 我收到了一个错误。

Is there a way to write queries in multiple lines? 有没有办法在多行中编写查询？

I am having this problem all the time, so I made a tiny tool to convert text to an escaped multi-line Objective-C string: 我一直有这个问题，所以我做了一个小工具将文本转换为转义的多行Objective-C字符串：

There's a trick you can do with the pre-processor. 你可以用预处理器做一个技巧。
It has the potential down sides that it will collapse white-space, and could be confusing for people reading the code. 它有潜在的缺点，它会崩溃白色空间，并且可能会让阅读代码的人感到困惑。
But, it has the up side that you don't need to escape quote characters inside it. 但是，它有一个好处，你不需要在其中转义引号字符。

#define QUOTE(...) #__VA_ARGS__
const char *sql_query = QUOTE(
    SELECT word_id
    FROM table1, table2
    WHERE table2.word_id = table1.word_id
    ORDER BY table1.word ASC
);

the preprocessor turns this into: 预处理器将其转换为：

const char *sql_query = "SELECT word_id FROM table1, table2 WHERE table2.word_id = table1.word_id ORDER BY table1.word ASC";

I've used this trick when I was writing some unit tests that had large literal strings containing JSON. 当我编写一些包含JSON的大型文字字符串的单元测试时，我已经使用过这个技巧。 It meant that I didn't have to escape every quote character \\". 这意味着我没有必要逃避每个引用字符“。

Extending the Quote idea for Objective-C: 扩展Objective-C的引用思路：

#define NSStringMultiline(...) [[NSString alloc] initWithCString:#__VA_ARGS__ encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]

NSString *sql = NSStringMultiline(
    SELECT name, age
    FROM users
    WHERE loggedin = true
);

You can also do: 你也可以这样做：

NSString * query = @"SELECT * FROM foo "
                   @"WHERE "
                     @"bar = 42 "
                     @"AND baz = datetime() "
                   @"ORDER BY fizbit ASC";

You could also go into XCode -> Preferences, select the Indentation tab, and turn on Line Wrapping. 你也可以进入XCode - > Preferences，选择Indentation选项卡，然后打开Line Wrapping。

That way, you won't have to type anything extra, and it will work for the stuff you already wrote. 这样，您就不必再输入任何额外内容，它将适用于您已编写的内容。 :-) :-)

One annoying thing though is... 但令人烦恼的是......

if (you're long on indentation
    && short on windows) {
            then your code will
                end up squished
                     against th
                         e side
                             li
                              k
                              e

                              t
                              h
                              i
                              s
}
