I’m implementing some code generators, i would like to know if there’s any way in C, if a variable has already been declared ?
I was trying to find something using the preprocessor but without any success…
thanks.

C is strictly static, you can’t “lookup” if a variable has already been declared. If you are creating a code generator, why not read lines of code and see what’s been declared?
