X-Macro: How to avoid repetition
summary
Shows an implemented pattern that keeps one single source list of enum entries and uses the preprocessor to generate both the enum and string conversion so you never forget to update a switch case The demo builds an X‑macro list, redefines X to emit enum values then redefines X again to emit switch case returns Adding a new state updates both places automatically and the approach plainly works for the presented examples
