Macro Editor

The macro editor allow a user to supplement the grammar with a list of keywords and rules to exclude macros during grammar parse operations. The macro definition list is particularly useful when developing grammars for languages that support macros such as C++. It avoids the necessity of describing these rules in the grammar itself, and can be used with multiple grammars.

This feature is available from Enterprise Architect Release 14.1.
