Does GCC support Characterise operator?

Does GCC support Characterise operator?

[Naga Priya .K]

Sir,

I read from a document that there is and operator called character 
operator in c and it converts the operand to quoted character.
I wrote the following code and tried to execute in GCC-2.95.2, but i'm 
getting the following error.
"`#' operator is not followed by a macro argument name"
Does it mean character operator wont work with GCC?
If this is implemented in latest version can u give me a example and the 
output of how it works.

Program:
#define MAKECHARACTER(operand) #@operand
int main()
{
    char ch;
    ch=97;
    switch(ch)
    {
        case MAKECHARACTER(a):
            ch='b';
            break;
        default:
            ch='x';
    }
return 0;
}

Thank you,
K.Naga Priya

So we can't respond to you.

Hi Naga,

Could you please resubmit your question without the terms & conditions
boilerplate which prevents us from responding to your inquiry.

Or send your question from another account (e.g., Google mail), which does
not have terms & conditions boilerplate such that we are not allowed to
respond to your inquiry.

Thanks,
