Edit: d'oh - I misread, the addendum is doing exactly this... I don't understand the need for the macro-fu to generate the case values. The use of switch_step++ in each previous case seems to drive that, but couldn't the same be accomplished by setting switch_step to a constant? static int switch_step = 0; switch(switch_step) { // Falls through between cases default: #if METHOD_0_AVAILABLE switch_step = 0; case 0: if (method_0_works(...)) break; #endif METHOD_0_AVAILABLE #if METHOD_1_AVAILABLE switch_step = 1; case 1: ... }
