  26    current line number to the given identifier to reduce the probability of the
  27    conflict (it may still happen if this is used in the headers, hence you
  28    should avoid doing it or provide unique prefixes then) but we have to do it

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