The common practice of wrapping C macros in parentheses may cause
unintended problems here, such as accidentally implying an
indirect addressing mode. While the definition of a macro requires
parentheses around its argument list, when invoked they should not be included.

the actual parameters used when invoking the macro should not use braces.

The invoked arguments are separated by commas only, if parentheses are
used by accident they will become part of the replaced token.
If you wish to have an expression follow the macro invocation, the
last parameter can be enclosed in curly braces {} to indicate the end of that
argument.
Examples:
<tscreen><verb>
.define COMBINE(ta,tb,tc) ta+tb*10+tc*100
COMBINE 5,6,7 ; 5+6*10+7*100 = 765 correct

.word COMBINE 5,6,7 ; 5+6*10+7*100 = 765

With C macros it is common to enclose the results in parentheses to
prevent unintended interactions with the text of the arguments, but
additional care must be taken in this assembly context where parentheses
may alter the meaning of a statement. In particular, indirect addressing modes
may be accidentally implied:
<tscreen><verb>
.define DUO(ta,tb) (ta+(tb*10))
lda DUO(5,4), Y ; LDA (indirect), Y
lda 0+DUO(5,4), Y ; LDA absolute indexed, Y
</verb></tscreen>
