It could compile before I spend the macro, but when I spend the macro like

PARSE_AND_SERIALIZE_WRAPPER(stupid_handle, titan);

the compiler always give me the error messages

C2017: illegal escape sequence

this code could work perfectly if I didn't use macro, what is the problem?

I don't know macro very well and seldom use it since at most of the time
C++ give us better choice than macro. But this time I can't find a better
way to solve this kind of problem without macro or just write a code generator
machine for myself.

I don't like macro, but I don't like redundancy codes more than macro.

Sorry, I solved the problem, I forget ";" on some line and just found it.
