Fine.

I've written rather a lot of code and I use macros extensively to make that
code more configurable, flexible, and easier to read. I've never been bitte=
n
by anything I would call "macro misuse", I have no idea why anyone would
have trouble with them, and you made a general statement without any
reference or proof so I assumed you were objecting to the language as a
whole.=20

If you can point out any danger from the macros I'm sharing, please give an
example or reference and I'll apologize. If you just want to wave flags in
the air without actually being helpful, go away.

I'd use C in preference to ASM any day. I wasn't at all suggesting ASM.=20
Just sounding a warning.

Really I don't believe in ASM except for some inline use or very small=20
project.

There is no need to be rude. Macro misuse is one of the biggest source=20
of bugs in C programs. Not checking string real size and only relying on=20
Null termination is the other.
