You must first expand the macro inside. Ie. do another pass. Your code may look like this:
#define SET(x,y) do{ (x) |= (1u << (y)); }while(0)
#define CLEAR(x,y) do{ (x) &= ~(1u << (y)); }while(0)
#define HIGH(a) SET(a) // another empty pass, just forward
// the `a` is expanded and the second `SET` takes two arguments
// or better, but not fully compliant:
// #define HIGH(...) SET(__VA_ARGS__)
#define CLOCK PORTB, 7
#define CLOCK_HIGH() HIGH(CLOCK)
int main() {
int PORTB;
CLOCK_HIGH();
}
As a good measure research about macro pitfalls and research good practices when writing macros..
