hi all...
i came across one sentence...
can anyone tell me what it means?
#define set(x,y) (x|=x##_##y)
what does that symbol "##_##" means in the code...

Look in your C book for preprocessor directives, under substituting macro variables.

it means if
#define a(x) 1##x
and you ues printf to do this:
printf("%d",a(34));
it'll prodecu 134

It's use to concatenate the parameters passed as identifiers. The preprocessor operator here is ##. set(var,feild1) would evaluate to (var|=var_feild1) for example.
