Cannot compile chadstr.h using MSVC

[dhalucario]

main.c

#include "chadstr.h"

int main() {
	chadstr test = str("orange apple");
	return 0;
}

The result when I try to compile it:

D:\workspace\chadstr>cl /I. main.c
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.28.29915 for x86

main.c
D:\workspace\chadstr\chadstr.h(69): fatal error C1112: compiler limit: '129' too many macro arguments, only '127' allowed

solution to problem is simple, stop using meme compilers like msvc.

For future reference, which compiler do you recommend? My my dead grandpa says Borland C is pretty good.

Personally I use gcc. Clang has very close features to it and recently got support in Visual Studio projects

I use mingw from dorado bucket using scoop. I recommend it on Windows. I use Gentoo too, but there I use just gcc. But on windows, I really recommend mingw or clang. MSVC is outdated.

This stackoverflow thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9183993/msvc-variadic-macro-expansion suggests

• 1. using /experimental:preprocessor] https://godbolt.org/z/Td3d4s inclusive until VS2019
• 2. using /Zc:preprocessor with VS2022
• 3. hack around the problem in https://stackoverflow.com/a/9338429

@dhalucario Could you test, if /Zc:preprocessor works for you?
