Macro definitions cause resiliency issues

This code insight counts one violation each time a macro without parameters defines a literal constant.

Literal constants are number, character or strings :
– numbers, possibly preceded with . or \
– characters enclosed with ‘
– strings, enclosed with ‘ or “

Exemple of violations : (123, .25, \123), un caractere (‘…’) ou une chaine (“…”)
