#define SETSTRDICT	(		dict,
			name,
			value
	)

Value:

string v##name = value; \
    dict.put(#name,v##name)

Adds a string object to the dictionary.

This macro is very important, because let the string to be added as a "string" instance by using a temporary local variable for that purpose.

As the string has a copy constructor, the dictionary will include a "copy" of the string, so it is safe to dispose the referred local variable by the automatic scope disposing mechanism. When this is not the desired behavior, it is better to create a pointer to a string in he heap, and to pass the pointer to the dictionary; this way, the dictionary will take control of that string and will dispose it appropriately when the dictionary life is finished.
