define macro with template as variable - c++

Question

i'm trying to use a macro to create some static variables.
my problem is, how do i do define a macro with 2 parameters, the first is a template and the second a static variable. the template should have more than 1 type.
for example:
#define macro(x, y, z, v) x::y z = v;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
// this works
macro(std::queue<int>, value_type, test, 4)
// this also works
std::pair<int, int>::first_type x = 3;
// this is produsing some compiler errors
macro(std::pair<int, int>, first_type, test2, 4)
return 0;
}
and is it even possible to do this?
here is the error:
main.cpp(47) : warning C4002: too many actual parameters for macro 'macro'
main.cpp(47) : error C2589: 'int' : illegal token on right side of '::'
main.cpp(47) : error C2589: 'int' : illegal token on right side of '::'
main.cpp(47) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '::'
main.cpp(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
main.cpp(51) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
inspired by Joachim Pileborg
#define macro(x, y, z, v, ...) x<__VA_ARGS__>::y z = v;
...
// now it works
macro(std::pair, first_type, test2, 4, int, int)
thx Joachim

Answer 1

It's not really a solution but merely a work-around:
#define COMMA ,
macro(std::pair<int COMMA int>, first_type, test2, 4)
or a little bit more readable:
#define wrap(...) __VA_ARGS__
macro(wrap(std::pair<int, int>), first_type, test2, 4)

Answer 2

It's because the preprocessor that handles macros is quite stupid. It sees five arguments in the second macro "call", the first one being std::pair<int and the second one int>. You can't have macro arguments that contains comma.
You might want to look into variadic macros, and re-arrange so that the class is last in the macro.

Answer 3

There are a couple of ways to get rid of that top-level comma.
typedef std::pair<int, int> int_pair;
macro(int_pair, first_type, test2, 4)
macro((std::pair<int, int>), first_type, test2, 4);
#define macro2(x1, x2, y, z, v) x1, x2::y z = v;
macro2(std::pair<int, int> first_type, test2, 4)
Incidentally, I'd leave off the ; from the macro, and use it wherever the macro is used. That makes the code look more natural.
