[Qt-interest] Usage of macros together with lupdate

[Markus Franke]

Dear all,

I would like to use macros in order to specify the translation category 
for some translatable texts.

---snip---
#define CATEGORY_ERROR "ErrorMessages"
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(CATEGORY_ERROR, "Some error message")
---snap---

However, as the lupdate command does not run the C preprocessor before 
trying to retrieve the translatable texts from source, it simply ignores 
all translatable texts specified like in the method above.

Wouldn't it be much more convenient to run the preprocessor and then pipe 
the preprocessed contents to lupdate in order to be able to use macros? Or 
is there any other way in order be able to use macros within definitions 
like QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP or QCoreApplication::translate()?

Thanks for any comments and with best regards,

Markus Franke
