The funny thing is, examples of macro craziness only strengthen my point, because C++ inherits all of that in addition to its hidden behaviors and magical semantics. It’s rare to find serious C code doing a lot of crazy things behind macros. In my experience, the few exceptions I can think of include the GMP library and data structure-related code trying to emulate generics (mostly hash tables).
