Description

ES.30: Don’t use macros for program text manipulation states that macros should be banned from everything except of #ifdefs and configuration control.

However, I disagree with that. Macros are useful for the purpose of assertions and logging. I think that "configuration control" doesn't cover that.

The original Note

This rule does not ban the use of macros for “configuration control” use in #ifdefs, etc.
