Hi Guys, I'm making a big C project and I have never come across a situation like this before so, I need your advice.

What is your opinion? Is it okay to have the constants defined within conditional preprocessors like I have done below or you advise me to do this some other way?

Any drawbacks if I do it this way?

Regards

Vikram

#define NUM_OCTAVES_4
//#define NUM_OCTAVES_5

    #ifdef NUM_OCTAVES_4
     #define OCTAVES 4
     const unsigned char borders [4] = {11, 26, 50, 98};
    #elif NUM_OCTAVES_5
     #define OCTAVES 5
     const unsigned char borders [5] = {11, 26, 50, 98, 194};
    #endif
