If the compiler does not understand variadic macros, you can also strip out PRINT with either of the following:
#define PRINT //
or
#define PRINT if(0)print
The first comments out the PRINT instructions, the second prevents PRINT instruction because of a NULL if condition. If optimization is set, the compiler should strip out never executed instructions like: if(0) print("hello world"); or ((void)0);
