Complex defining possible?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to force the compiler to simplify a macro. I have something like this:

Code:

---

#define imply(IMPLY_IDENTIFIER) IMPLY_ ## IMPLY_NUMBER ## IMPLY_IDENTIFIER

#define imply(VAR_COUNT) 5

---

so, I need it to expand "imply(VAR_COUNT)" before it defines it. I want the result of the macro to be the name of the define.
