Hello,
 
I'm trying to make a macro for the following case (essentially, I have to translate a run-time decision to a compile-time one):
 
switch(i)
{
case 1: my_func(arg, offsetof(my_struct, arr[1].my_field))); break;
case 2: my_func(arg, offsetof(my_struct, arr[2].my_field))); break;
// etc. up to 10
}
 
If I could hard-code the whole function call into the macro, I could do something like this:
#define EXPR(unused, x, text) my_func(arg, offsetof(my_struct, arr[x].my_field))); break;
 
#define MY_MACRO(x) \
switch(x)\
{\
BOOST_PP_REPEAT(x, EXPR, _)\
}
 
However, I'd like to pass "arg" and "my_field" as parameters to this macro.
What would be the right way to do this?

Perhaps:

    #define EXPR(unused, x, data) \
    case x: my_func(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 0, data) , offsetof(my_struct, arr[x].BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 1, data)))); break;
     
    #define MY_MACRO(x, arg, my_field) \
    switch(i)\
    {\
    BOOST_PP_REPEAT(x, EXPR, (arg, my_field))\
    }

Or if you don't insist on a PP solution, lambda may help as well:
 
    #define EXPR(unused, x, data) case x: f(x); break;
    #define MY_MACRO(x, arg, my_field) \
    auto f = [&](int i){ my_func(arg, offsetof(my_struct, arr[i].my_field))); } \
    switch(i)\
    {\
    BOOST_PP_REPEAT(x, EXPR, (arg, my_field))\
    }

(note: code not tested)
