One common, useful use of self-reference is to create a macro which expands to itself. If you write #define EPERM EPERM then the macro EPERM expands to EPERM. Effectively, it is left alone by the preprocessor whenever it’s used in running text. You can tell that it’s a macro with ‘#ifdef’. You might do this if you want to define numeric constants with an enum, but have ‘#ifdef’ be true for each constant.
