\section{Preprocesser symbols defined by wxWindows}\label{cppconst}

Here is the list of preprocessor symbols used in the wxWindows source grouped
by category (and sorted by alphabetical order inside each category).

\subsection{GUI system}

\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\_\_WINDOWS\_\_}{any Windows, yom may also use \_\_WXMSW\_\_}
\twocolitem{\_\_WIN16\_\_}{Win16 API (not supported since wxWindows 2.6)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WIN32\_\_}{Win32 API}
\twocolitem{\_\_WIN95\_\_}{Windows 95 or NT 4.0 and above system (not NT 3.5x)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXBASE\_\_}{Only wxBase, no GUI features}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXGTK\_\_}{GTK}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXGTK12\_\_}{GTK 1.2 or higher}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXGTK20\_\_}{GTK 2.0 or higher}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMOTIF\_\_}{Motif}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMOTIF20\_\_}{Motif 2.0 or higher}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMAC\_\_}{Mac OS whether Classic (Mac OS 8/9 TARGET\_CARBON
== 0) or Carbon (including Mac OS X TARGET\_CARBON == 1)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMGL\_\_}{SciTech Soft MGL (\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_ will be also
defined)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMSW\_\_}{Any Windows}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXOS2\_\_}{Identical to \_\_WXPM\_\_}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXPM\_\_}{OS/2 native Presentation Manager}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXSTUBS\_\_}{Stubbed version ('template' wxWin implementation)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXXT\_\_}{Xt; mutually exclusive with WX\_MOTIF, not
implemented in wxWindows 2.x}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXX11\_\_}{wxX11 (\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_ will be also defined)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXWINE\_\_}{WINE (i.e. Win32 on Unix)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_}{wxUniversal port, always defined in addition
to one of the symbols above so this should be tested first.}
\twocolitem{\_\_X\_\_}{any X11-based GUI toolkit except GTK+}
\end{twocollist}

In fact, they should better all start with \_\_WX instead of \_\_ only,
so please start any new defines with \_\_WX.

\end{twocollist}

\subsection{Hardware architectures}

Note that not all of these symbols are always defined, it depends on the
compiler used.

\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt

to the compiler version: $500$ is $5.0$.}

also \helpref{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{wxcheckversion}}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXDEBUG\_\_}{defined in debug mode, undefined in release mode}
\twocolitem{wxUSE\_XXX}{if defined as $1$, feature XXX is active
(the symbols of this form are always defined, use \#if and not \#ifdef to test
 for them)}
\twocolitem{wxUSE\_GUI}{this particular feature test macro is defined to $1$
when compiling or using the library with the GUI features activated, if it is
defined as $0$, only wxBase is available.}
\twocolitem{wxUSE\_BASE}{only used by wxWindows internally (defined as $1$ when
building wxBase code, either as a standalone library or as part of the
monolithic wxWindows library, defined as $0$ when building GUI library only)}
