Stringification of a macro value

by

The xstr macro defined below will stringify after doing macro-expansion.

#define xstr(a) str(a)
#define str(a) #a

#define RECORDS_PER_PAGE 10

#define REQUEST_RECORDS \
    "SELECT Fields FROM Table WHERE Conditions" \
    " OFFSET %d * " xstr(RECORDS_PER_PAGE) \
    " LIMIT " xstr(RECORDS_PER_PAGE) ";"
