Subject: Re: C++ Programming Q: are const and define efficiency the same

Go up one level in this thread


I cannot see, how this will help a modern compiler to optimize the code. I
think, having a local const var is basically a debugging aid - not more, not
less. const variabales at higher levels (outside of the functions) are
different. I believe, for C++, they are basically the same as #defines in C. For
C, #defines might be preferable.
