How to compare strings in C conditional preprocessor-directives

by

I don’t think there is a way to do variable length string comparisons completely in preprocessor directives. You could perhaps do the following though:

#define USER_JACK 1
#define USER_QUEEN 2

#define USER USER_JACK 

#if USER == USER_JACK
#define USER_VS USER_QUEEN
#elif USER == USER_QUEEN
#define USER_VS USER_JACK
#endif

Or you could refactor the code a little and use C code instead.
