Rule 2.5 vs. include guards
#1
Hi.
It is not completely clear what is meant by use of a macro in Rule 2.5. There is definition of a use of an expression in the Glossary, but not of a macro.
If taken literally, rule 2.5 means that standard include guards are forbidden:

#ifndef HEADER_H
#define HEADER_H // Not used unless another #ifndef is encountered somewhere inside
...
#endif
<t></t>

Your example is compliant with rule 2.5. The #ifndef HEADER_H is considered to be a use of the macro name, even though it appears before the #define.
