I'm currently trying to create a macro to help me debug an annoying JavaScript issue. There's a function that's getting called and it's throwing an exception.

Is it "safe" to give macros names as arguments to other macros to simulate higher order functions? I.e. where should I look to not shoot myself in the foot?

I was looking at the program at http://www0.us.ioccc.org/1988/westley.c, mentioned in another SO answer - it's supposed to print the value of pi, about 3.142, but when I compile it and run it I get 0.250. It looks like when the GCC preprocessor (both 4.1.2 and 3.4.6 tested) runs on the code, it converts #define _ -F<00||--F-OO--; _-_-_...

I have always wondered if whatever actions we do are actually translated into VBA Macros before it is executed. Is that how we are able to record macros? If not, would you call it a redundancy in design? Would it be faster/slower it ain't the way it is now? ...
