Description
It is hard, if not impossible, to create a state variable via macro expansion since macros are expanded after actorcompiler.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the build entry points for actorcompiler and the C++ preprocessor, then trace the current ordering and how macro-expanded state variables are handled. Done means actorcompiler runs after preprocessing and a macro-created state variable can be compiled successfully, with an appropriate build or regression test.
