I'm reading the source code of Telegram Desktop application. There are a few lines defined like this:

#define DeclareSetting(Type, Name) DeclareReadSetting(Type, Name) \
inline void cSet##Name(const Type &Name) { \
    g##Name = Name; \
}

Could someone please explain what does this mean? I studied macro's but I couldn't understand this syntax. (please don't kill me if it's called something else kindly correct me by editing this.)

It would be helpful if you stated which particular part of these 3 lines, which tokens, you don't understand. – mloskot Feb 19 '16 at 08:41
`##` is to concatenate tokens. – Jarod42 Feb 19 '16 at 08:43

@mloskot unfortunately none of it. All I know is that this is some sort of macro but I haven't seen this type of definition before. – max Feb 19 '16 at 08:45
