  30    conflict (it may still happen if this is used in the headers, hence you
  31    should avoid doing it or provide unique prefixes then) but we have to do it

  38        inside the macros. Luckily VC7 has another standard macro which can be
  39        used like this and is even better than __LINE__ because it is globally
