11.4 Macro Operators
Macro operators are used in macro bodies to operate on parameters of macro calls. Macro operators
are listed below.
Usage example
The following example uses the operators \, <>, and &. The & characters in the body of macro mac1
are used with two different meanings. The & before the dummy parameters is a macro operator. The &
before the hexadecimal 0x0f indicates a logical AND.
Operator Description
