A pattern like this will get you further: #define A(s) s##s##s##s #define B(s) A(s) #define C(s) B(B(B(s))) #define D(s) C(C(C(s))) D(foo). This gets me an error message about as long with much less code, and grows much faster with increasing the pattern in any dimension, since we are essentially implementing the Ackermann function.

Make the whole error on a single line.
