   In a word NO. #defines are always strings even when they look like   
   constants, something I have found out the hard way. There have only been   
   two ways that I have successfully dealt with #defines: a preprocessor   
   pass or later and much faster pipeline the processing of C source and   
   add the defined definition processing into part of the source fetch   
   handling.
