Hi,

Im currently developing a cross-platform C application. Is there any compiler macro which is defined only during compilation on Windows, so I can #ifdef some Windows specific #includes?

Typical example is selecting between WinSock and Berkeley sockets headers:

#ifdef _WINDOWS
   #include <winsock.h>    
#else
   #include <sys/socket.h>
   #include <netinet/in.h>
   #include <sys/un.h>
   #include <arpa/inet.h>
   #include <netdb.h>
#endif

So the thing Im looking for is something like that _WINDOWS macro. Thanks for any tips.

The only pre-process directive that I know about in VBScript / Classic ASP is the #include. I don't know if that is the official name but I'm basically looking for code that can execute code or other instructions before the general VBScript. Are there any other such directives in VBScript? Such as… >>> More

In the MSVC++ 2008 "Property Pages", you would simply add: Config Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, but I would like it if something like #define COMPILE_WITH_DETOURS… >>> More
