Preprocessor question

How can I use string constant as parameter to function requiring wchar_t* ?
#define MYSTR "abc"
// #define MYSTRW L"abc" // I don't like this solution because I have to update the same 2 stringswstring x(MYSTR); // error C2664
thank you
This
MAKELONGmacro definition will work for you.#include <string>
#define MYSTR "abc"
#define MAKELONG2(S) L##S
#define MAKELONG(S) MAKELONG2(S)std::wstring a(MAKELONG(MYSTR));
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

use
#define MYSTR _T("abc")
and then accordingly define (or not) the
UNICODEsymbol. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
