Don't be silly.  C macros are part of C programming, whether you like 
them or not - the first line of your posted code is a macro definition! 
And Bart was talking about a macro defined in <windows.h>, not your code.

If you are compiling as C++, then you will have C++ linkage and C++ 
mangled names (unless you have an extern "C" in effect).  C++ supports 
function overloading - there is no problem having two functions with the 
same name but different parameters.  If you don't understand this and 
don't know how it works, and randomly mix C code with C++ (or C compiled 
as C++), you will cause yourself confusion.  Use C, or use C++ - and if 
you want to mix some C and some C++ files, do so in an informed and 
intentional manner.

If all you want here is to be able to write something like :

	const int tab_max = 10;
	int table[tab_max];

then in C you can simply use :

	enum { tab_max = 10 };
	int table[tab_max];

or in C23 :

	constexpr int tab_max = 10;
	int table[tab_max];
