title: how to fix macro definition too big error
body: <p>While compiling my project (npapi plugin -firebreath) on Visual Studio 2010, I get following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal error RC1011: compiler limit : 'FBSTRING_X11MIMEType': macro definition too big
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The macro is big but it compiles without any issue in gcc (Linux). I can only fix the above error by decreasing the macro length, but that is not a solution to the problem. Please help me with this issue.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Updated: Here is the macro</strong></p>
