Research direction

Reproduce the failure in src\main.c at line 96 with vbcc targeting Amiga Kickstart 1.3, using the shown BOOST_BINARY_U invocation. Inspect the BOOST_BINARY_U macro expansion and preprocessing around the call; done means the expansion no longer produces the invalid ')END_BIT' token and the source compiles.

Description

I'm using vbcc, a C cross-compiler, targeting Amiga Kickstart 1.3.

The line

custom.dmacon = BOOST_BINARY_U(0000000000000011);

produces the following error:

>       custom.dmacon = BOOST_BINARY_U(0000000000000011)
error 276 in line 96 of "src\main.c": operator '##' produced the invalid token ')END_BIT'
