[cfe-dev] Macro expansion

[Nathan James via cfe-dev]

Hi,

Unfortunately the pre processor amounts to not much more than text
manipulation and as such it won't evaluate expressions. In your example
`C` will hold the value `16/4`. If you want to have more than that,
then you will likely need to add a pre-build step to your build
process, Similar(but very different) to TableGen.

Regards,
Nathan James
