"There is no reason at all that the C pre-processor cannot be
run on Ada source before sending it to the compiler. Therefore,
one _can_ use macros, but it is neither standard nor advisable -
macros can be a source of very hard-to-find bugs."
Actually there is one reason: attributes will cause troubles, since they
don't look like valid C tokens.
But largely this is true, and in any case, other macro processors can be
used.
