Using Macros to decrease the amount of code written in C++

There are always pros and cons of using macros in your project.The advantage of using a macro is that it reduces the amount of coding you need to do , and the disadvantages of using a macro other than the fact that the size of the executable code is increased its also difficult to debug.

I personally try to stay away from macros but hey , you should always be familiar with things you never know when you might come across them , just like i did at work  :(

#define IMPLEMENT_SET_GET_METHOD( type , name ) \
IMPLEMENT_SET_METHOD( type , name );         \
IMPLEMENT_GET_METHOD( type , name );

#define IMPLEMENT_SET_METHOD( type , name )          \
private:                type name;         \
public:                 void set_##name( const type& value ) {  name = value; }



#define IMPLEMENT_GET_METHOD( type , name )         \
public:          const type& get_##name() const             { return name; }


class myclass
{
IMPLEMENT_SET_GET_METHOD( int  , val)
}  ;

void main()
{
 myclass obj;
 obj.set_val(34);
 cout << obj.get_val();
 cin.get();
}
