    macros

    i have this in a header file:
    Code:
    ...
    
    #define IND_BIT (N) ((N) / NUM_BITS)
    /* Find array index for Nth bit */
    
    #define POS_BIT (N) ((N) % NUM_BITS)
    /* Find position of Nth bit */
    
    #define SET_BIT (barr, N) ((barr)[IND_BITS(N)] |= (bitarr)1 << POS_BITS(N))
    /* Set Nth bit */
    ...
    and this source file:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include "ba.h"
    
    #define M 10
    
    int main(void)
    {
      bitarr a[SIZ_BITS(M)] = {0};
      int i;
    
    
      SET_BIT (a, 5);
    
      for (i = 0; i < M; i++)
        if ( TST_BIT(a, i) )
          printf("%dth bit set\n",i);
    
      return 0;
    }
    What's the problem?
    I get these errors:

    Code:
    bitarr.c:8: `N' undeclared (first use in this function)
    bitarr.c:8: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    bitarr.c:8: for each function it appears in.)
    bitarr.c:12: `barr' undeclared (first use in this function)
    bitarr.c:15: called object is not a function
    bitarr.c:15: called object is not a function
    bitarr.c:16: syntax error before "printf"

    remove spaces before the first (

    #define IND_BIT (N) ((N) / NUM_BITS)

    =>

    #define IND_BIT(N) ((N) / NUM_BITS)

    #define IND_BIT (N) ((N) / NUM_BITS)

    You're not allowed spaces between the macro name, and the opening (
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    thanks.
    only one error left
    bitarr.c:16: syntax error before "printf"

    heres' TST_BIT:

    Code:
    #define TST_BIT(barr, N) ((barr)[IND_BITS(N)] & ((bitarr)1 << POS_BITS(N))

    Many things are missing in this code... Try this :
    Code:
    #include <limits.h>
    
    #define NUM_BITS CHAR_BIT
    
    #define IND_BITS(N) ((N) / NUM_BITS)
    /* Find array index for Nth bit */
    
    #define POS_BITS(N) ((N) % NUM_BITS)
    /* Find position of Nth bit */
    
    #define SET_BIT(barr, N) ((barr)[IND_BITS(N)] |= ((bitarr)1 << POS_BITS(N)))
    /* Set Nth bit */
    
    #define TST_BIT(barr, N) ((barr)[IND_BITS(N)] & ((bitarr)1 << POS_BITS(N)))
    /* Test Nth bit */
    
    #define SIZ_BITS(n) (1 + (n) /sizeof (bitarr))
    
    typedef unsigned char bitarr;
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #define M 10
    
    int main (void)
    {
       bitarr a[SIZ_BITS (M)] =
       {0};
       int i;
    
       SET_BIT (a, 5);
    
       for (i = 0; i < M; i++)
       {
          if (TST_BIT (a, i))
          {
             printf ("%d%s bit set\n"
                    , i + 1
                    , (i + 1) == 1 ? "st"
                    : (i + 1) == 2 ? "nd"
                    : (i + 1) == 3 ? "rd"
                                   : "th"
                    );
          }
       }
    
       return 0;
    }
