How to define a macro with space in its content?

[Jimm Chen]

I’d like to pass

-D__int64="long long"

to gcc, but VisualGDB 5.3r4 does not cope with it correctly. It does something like

-D__int64=”long -Dlong”

 

How can I achieve my goal?

See my image below for this problem:

Hi,

Please try using the \” syntax.

I tried it as follows, no luck.

__int64=\"long long\"

Could you confirm it for me?

Hi,

Thanks, we have confirmed this. Looks like GNU Make  doesn’t properly handle values with spaces regardless of the escaping.

As a workaround please try adding the following code directly to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS:

-D__int64="long long"

OK. That’s quite feasible workaround.

But please use ASCII dash and quotes in your answer, instead of their Unicode counterpart.

Hi,

No problem, we’ve edited the previous reply to fix the encoding.
