Oh,I misunderstood its meaning
xiahan,
The purpose of that macro is to write text data directly into the code section. It is effectively read only unless you change the attributes of the executable file in its link options. The reason for the VARARG is so you can pass text that has "," in it without the old macro parser stopping at the "," character.
