Right order #define macro in C/C++

Question

I try save variable name like this:

#define TEST someVariable
#define makeString(x) #x

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char TEST[] = makeString(TEST);
    printf("%s    %s\n", TEST, makeString(TEST));
    return 0;
}

Output is :

appden4ik@appDen4ik:/opt/preprocessor/Debug$ ./preprocessor 
TEST    TEST'

I want next output:

someVariable      someVariable

Where I am wrong?

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>


#define TEST variable
#define makeStr(x) #x
#define makeString(x) makeStr(x)

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char TEST[] = makeString(TEST);
    printf("%s    %s\n", TEST, makeString(TEST));
    return 0;
}

this helps
