<sidebar>API Contents</sidebar> Expands a string to the name of a macro used in the generated code
Contents
Parameters
STRING Source
- The macro name to expand
HANDLE Owner
- A component that owns the macro
- The default value for this parameter is: this
Return value
The full expanded macro name.
Detailed description
This takes a macro name owned by the specified Owner component and returns the name of the macro as it would be added to the downloaded code. For example the macro TestMacro may be expanded to FCD_PARENT_OBJECT_TESTMACRO.
This should only be called during compilation if it is to match up with the generated code as compilation will calculate the static linkage of a macro at this point (a component may be redirected to some pre-existing and identical function generated by some other component in order to save space on the target).
Examples
Calling in a calculation
- Declare a variable 'result' of type STRING
- Add to a calculation icon:
result = ::Expand.MacroName("source", owner)
No additional examples
