How to split a string literal across multiple lines in C / Objective-C?

Question

I have a pretty long sqlite query: const char *sql_query = "SELECT statuses.word_id FROM lang1_words, statuses WHERE statuses.word_id = lang1_words.word_id ORDER BY lang1_words.word ASC";How can I break it in a number of lines to make it easier to read?If I do the following: const char *sql_query = "SELECT word_id FROM table1, table2 WHERE table2.word_id = table1.word_id ORDER BY table1.word ASC";I am getting a error.Is there a way to write queries in multiple lines?

Answer 1

In C you can define a multi line macro by ending lines with a '\' like this:

#define GROUP_TYPE \

struct group_type { \

int one; \

double two; \

};

#define GROUP_PTR struct GROUP_TYPE*
