Hi all. 

I'm trying to stringize a symbol already defined to the preprocessor (or rather
I'm trying to stringize the VALUE of that symbol).

ie, I have :

#define STR(wibble) #wibble

#define X 1
#define STRX STR(X)

Of course, when I use STRX, I get "X". However, I want "1". Is there any
portable way of doing this ? (it doesn't have to be based on the above, or
even use the stringize operator, as long as it's portable (hell, send me non-
portable solutions if there are any, it might give me an idea)).

TIA,
Kev.

I doubt very much that anyone else would want them.
