You are right of course. I tried a number of variations to 
try to paste the line number but nothing worked. Handling the
basic parts is relatively straightforward but for the issue
of providing the index as a const-qualified variable.

So here's what I came up with that gcc accepts.

#include <stdio.h>

#define VALUE(X) X
#define PASTE(X,Y) X ## Y
#define XPASTE(X,y) PASTE(VALUE(X),VALUE(Y))
//#define UNIQUE(X) PASTE(X,VALUE(__LINE__))
#define UNIQUE(X) X ## _ /*dam torpedoes*/

#define P_FOR( TYPE, IDX, INI, TEST, INC ) \
  for(  TYPE UNIQUE(IDX) = (INI);  UNIQUE(IDX) TEST;  UNIQUE(IDX) INC  ) \
    for(  TYPE once = 1;  once;  ) \
      for(  TYPE const IDX = UNIQUE(IDX);  once;  once = 0  )



int main( void ){
  int a[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
  int sum = 0;

  P_FOR( int, i, 0, < 10, ++ ){
    sum += a[i];
  }

  printf("%d\n", sum );
}

I don't understand why pasting the line number is so difficult.
Probably my mental model of the preprocessor is not detailed enough.


$ cpp -P mac.c  # with include commented out
int main( void ){
  int a[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
  int sum = 0;
  for( int i_ = (0); i_ < 10; i_ ++ ) for( int once = 1; once; ) for( int const i = i_; once; once = 0 ){
    sum += a[i];
  }
  printf("%d\n", sum );
}

$ make mac
cc     mac.c   -o mac
$ ./mac
