macro[′mak·rō] (computer science) macroinstruction MACRO (1)Assembly language for VAX/VMS.MACRO (2)PL/I-like language with extensions for string processing."MACRO: A Programming Language", S.R. Greenwood, SIGPLANNotices 14(9):80-91 (Sep 1979).macro (3)A name (possibly followed by a formal argument list) that isequated to a text or symbolic expression to which it is to beexpanded (possibly with the substitution of actual arguments) by a macro expander.
The term "macro" originated in early assemblers, whichencouraged the use of macros as a structuring andinformation-hiding device. During the early 1970s, macroassemblers became ubiquitous, and sometimes quite as powerfuland expensive as HLLs, only to fall from favour as improvingcompiler technology marginalised assembly languageprogramming (see languages of choice). Nowadays the term ismost often used in connection with the C preprocessor,Lisp, or one of several special-purpose languages builtaround a macro-expansion facility (such as TeX or Unix'stroff suite).
Indeed, the meaning has drifted enough that the collective"macros" is now sometimes used for code in any special-purposeapplication control language (whether or not the language isactually translated by text expansion), and for macro-likeentities such as the "keyboard macros" supported in some texteditors (and PC TSRs or Macintosh INIT/CDEV keyboardenhancers).macro(1) A shortcut method for invoking a sequence of user interface functions. Macros let users turn widely used menus and keystrokes into one command or key combination. For example, pressing F2 might cause several menus and dialog buttons to be selected in a prescribed order. Macros can be created automatically by recording the keyboard and mouse actions (see macro recorder). See programmable keypad.
(2) In a home theater remote control, a macro performs two or more functions. For example, when pressing the On button on the remote, a macro can be configured to turn on the A/V receiver and the TV one after the other (see IR remote control and RF remote control).
(3) A special-purpose command language within an application. See macro language.
(4) A camera close-up mode. See macro setting.
(5) In a programming language, a macro is a prewritten subroutine that is called within the program. When assembled or compiled, the macro call is substituted with the actual instructions. If the same macro is called at 10 different places in the program, the routine is duplicated 10 times. In contrast, a function may be called 10 times, but there is only one function routine.
(6) Methods for determining wiring patterns on a chip (see hard macro and soft macro).macro
macro (mak′rō) A set of instructions that invokes the computer to run a command or an action, e.g., pressing “Ctrl” + “i” to add italics to selected text.Macro
MacroIn the context of hedge funds, a style of management that takes long-term strategic bets. For example, the manager might believe that the Yen will appreciate relative to the dollar over the next six months and alter the portfolio to capture this potential profit opportunity.MacroIn hedge funds, describing a medium or long term investment strategy. For example, a hedge fund manager may purchase futures contracts or options that do not expire for six or nine months, believing that the fund can profit from trends in the meantime or that the market will move in the desired direction during that timeframe.MACRO
