Stringification

Stringification in C involves more than putting double-quote characters around the fragment.

The preprocessor backslash-escapes the quotes surrounding embedded string constants, and all backslashes within string and character constants, in order to get a valid C string constant with the proper contents.

Thus, stringifying p = "foo\n"; results in "p = \"foo\\n\";". However,

backslashes that are not inside string or character constants are not duplicated: ‘\n’ by itself stringifies to "\n".

实验如下：

stringification.c

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define WARN(EXP) fprintf (stderr, "Warning: " #EXP "\n");

int main(void)
{
    WARN(p= "foo\n");
    return 0;
}

gcc constptr.c  -E stringification.c  -o   stringification.i

stringification.i

int main(void)
{
    fprintf (stderr, "Warning: " "p= \"foo\\n\"" "\n");;
    return 0;
}

后续实验的结果：

实参 ：“p= foo\n"  预处理后      "\"p= foo\\n\""

实参：”\n“             预处理后        "\"\\n\""

实参 ： \n             预处理后       "\n"

实参 ：' \n'           预处理后       "'\\n'"
