Yes! I have a touch-only radio in my car. It's a security hazard. I often have to slow down just to change the radio station, change the mp3 file that's playing or adjust the volume. It's a disaster.

Provided that he knows about the macro. Otherwise it's slower and if you switch projects often it requires that you remember what's it about. I guess it could be useful for teams working together on bigger codebases.

> please encapsulate the logic in a macro. Why? When reading such code, it means I would have to go and lookup a macro definition. So, there's a clear drawback. What's the benefit that makes it worthwhile?

Can't say about the others, but my IDE just adds #ifndef/#endif automatically, so I don't bother to change it manually. Is there some performance gain from #pragma once ?

All modern compilers support precompiled headers. If it's a library external to your project, you just compile it once into .pch file and when you change your own code, the .pch is just loaded without having to compile the headers agai
