All of these macros except for the @c wxUSE_XXX variety is defined if the corresponding condition is @true and undefined if it isn't, so they should be always tested using @ifdef_ and not @if_. @section page_cppconst_guisystem GUI system @beginDefList @itemdef{__WXBASE__, Only wxBase, no GUI features (same as @c wxUSE_GUI == 0)} @itemdef{__WXDFB__, wxUniversal using DirectFB} @itemdef{__WXWINCE__, Windows CE} @itemdef{__WXGTK__, GTK+} @itemdef{__WXGTK12__, GTK+ 1.2 or higher} @itemdef{__WXGTK20__, GTK+ 2.0 or higher} @itemdef{__WXGTK24__, GTK+ 2.4 or higher} @itemdef{__WXGTK26__, GTK+ 2.6 or higher} @itemdef{__WXGTK210__, GTK+ 2.10 or higher} @itemdef{__WXMAC__, old define, same as __WXOSX__} @itemdef{__WXMOTIF__, Motif} @itemdef{__WXMOTIF20__, Motif 2.0 or higher} @itemdef{__WXMSW__, GUI using Windows Controls. Notice that for compatibility reasons, this symbol is defined for console applications under Windows as well, but it should only be used in the GUI code while __WINDOWS__ should be used for the platform tests.} @itemdef{__WXOSX__, OS X GUI using any Apple widget framework (Carbon, AppKit or UIKit)} @itemdef{__WXOSX_IPHONE__, OS X iPhone (UIKit)} @itemdef{__WXOSX_CARBON__, Mac OS X using Carbon} @itemdef{__WXOSX_COCOA__, Mac OS X using Cocoa (AppKit)} @itemdef{__WXOSX_MAC__, Mac OS X (Carbon or Cocoa)} @itemdef{__WXPM__, OS/2 native Presentation Manager (not used any longer).} @itemdef{__WXSTUBS__, Stubbed version ('template' wxWin implementation)} @itemdef{__WXXT__, Xt; mutually exclusive with WX_MOTIF, not implemented in wxWidgets 2.x} @itemdef{__WXX11__, wxX11 (__WXUNIVERSAL__ will be also defined)} @itemdef{__WXWINE__, WINE (i.e. WIN32 on Unix)} @itemdef{__WXUNIVERSAL__, wxUniversal port, always defined in addition to one of the symbols above so this should be tested first.} @itemdef{__X__, any X11-based GUI toolkit except GTK+} @endDefList There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS X. One of them, wxOSX is the successor of the venerable wxMac, it currently exists in three versions: Carbon and Cocoa for the desktop and a very early iPhone port. And there is the Cocoa port named wxCocoa which has not been updated very actively since beginning 2008. To summarize: @li If you want to test for wxOSX on the desktop, use __WXOSX_MAC__. @li If you want to test for wxOSX on the iPhone, use __WXOSX_IPHONE__. @li If you want to test for a particular GUI Mac port under OS X, use __WXOSX_CARBON__ or __WXOSX_COCOA__. @li If you want to test for any port under Mac OS X, including, for example, wxGTK and also wxBase, use __DARWIN__ (see below). The convention is to use the __WX prefix for these symbols, although this has not always been followed. @section page_cppconst_os Operating Systems @beginDefList @itemdef{__APPLE__, any Mac OS version} @itemdef{__AIX__, AIX} @itemdef{__BSD__, Any *BSD system} @itemdef{__CYGWIN__, Cygwin: Unix on Win32} @itemdef{__DARWIN__, Mac OS X (with BSD C library), using any port (see also __WXOSX__)} @itemdef{__DATA_GENERAL__, DG-UX} @itemdef{__FREEBSD__, FreeBSD} @itemdef{__HPUX__, HP-UX (Unix)} @itemdef{__GNU__, GNU Hurd} @itemdef{__LINUX__, Linux} @itemdef{__MACH__, Mach-O Architecture (Mac OS X only builds)} @itemdef{__OSF__, OSF/1} @itemdef{__QNX__, QNX Neutrino RTOS} @itemdef{__SGI__, IRIX} @itemdef{__SOLARIS__, Solaris} @itemdef{__SUN__, Any Sun} @itemdef{__SUNOS__, Sun OS} @itemdef{__SVR4__, SystemV R4} @itemdef{__SYSV__, SystemV generic} @itemdef{__ULTRIX__, Ultrix} @itemdef{__UNIX__, any Unix} @itemdef{__UNIX_LIKE__, Unix, BeOS or VMS} @itemdef{__VMS__, VMS} @itemdef{__WINDOWS__, Any Windows platform, using any port (see also __WXMSW__)} @itemdef{__WIN16__, Win16 API (not supported since wxWidgets 2.6)} @itemdef{__WIN32__, Win32 API} @itemdef{__WIN64__, Win64 (mostly same as Win32 but data type sizes are different)} @itemdef{__WINE__, Wine} @itemdef{_WIN32_WCE, Windows CE version} @endDefList @section page_cppconst_cpu Hardware Architectures (CPU) Note that not all of these symbols are always defined, it depends on the compiler used. @beginDefList @itemdef{__ALPHA__, DEC Alpha architecture} @itemdef{__INTEL__, Intel i386 or compatible} @itemdef{__IA64__, Intel 64 bit architecture} @itemdef{__POWERPC__, Motorola Power PC} @endDefList @section page_cppconst_hardware Hardware Type @beginDefList @itemdef{__SMARTPHONE__, Generic mobile devices with phone buttons and a small display} @itemdef{__PDA__, Personal digital assistant, usually with touch screen} @itemdef{__HANDHELD__, Small but powerful computer, usually with a keyboard} @itemdef{__POCKETPC__, Microsoft-powered PocketPC devices with touch-screen} @itemdef{__WINCE_STANDARDSDK__, Microsoft-powered Windows CE devices, for generic Windows CE applications} @itemdef{__WINCE_NET__, Microsoft-powered Windows CE .NET devices (_WIN32_WCE is 400 or greater)} @itemdef{WIN32_PLATFORM_WFSP, Microsoft-powered smartphone} @endDefList @section page_cppconst_compiler Compilers @beginDefList @itemdef{__BORLANDC__, Borland C++.

For convenience, the symbols __VISUALCn__ are also defined for each major compiler version from 5 to 12, i.e. you can use tests such as #ifdef \_\_VISUALC7\_\_ to test for compiler version being precisely 7.} @itemdef{__XLC__, AIX compiler} @itemdef{__WATCOMC__, Watcom C++. The value of this macro corresponds to the compiler version, @c 1100 is @c 11.0 and @c 1200 is OpenWatcom (not used any more).} @endDefList @section page_cppconst_featuretests Feature Tests Some library features may not be always available even if they were selected by the user. To make it possible to check if this is the case, the library predefines the symbols in the form @c wxHAS_FEATURE. Unlike @c wxUSE_FEATURE symbols which are defined by the library user (directly in @c setup.h or by running configure script) and which must be always defined as either 0 or 1, the @c wxHAS symbols are only defined if the corresponding feature is available and not defined at all otherwise. Currently the following symbols exist: @beginDefList @itemdef{wxHAS_3STATE_CHECKBOX, Defined if wxCheckBox supports wxCHK_3STATE flag, i.e. is capable of showing three states and not only the usual two. Currently defined for almost all ports.} @itemdef{wxHAS_ATOMIC_OPS, Defined if wxAtomicInc() and wxAtomicDec() functions have an efficient (CPU-specific) implementation. Notice that the functions themselves are always available but can be prohibitively slow to use when implemented in a generic way, using a critical section.} @itemdef{wxHAS_BITMAPTOGGLEBUTTON, Defined in @c wx/tglbtn.h if wxBitmapToggleButton class is available in addition to wxToggleButton.} @itemdef{wxHAS_CONFIG_TEMPLATE_RW, Defined if the currently used compiler supports template Read() and Write() methods in wxConfig.} @itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FILES, Defined if wxFile supports files more than 4GB in size (notice that you must include @c wx/filefn.h before testing for this symbol).} @itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FFILES, Defined if wxFFile supports files more than 4GB in size (notice that you must include @c wx/filefn.h before testing for this symbol).} @itemdef{wxHAS_LONG_LONG_T_DIFFERENT_FROM_LONG, Defined if compiler supports a 64 bit integer type (available as @c wxLongLong_t) and this type is different from long. Notice that, provided wxUSE_LONGLONG is not turned off, some 64 bit type is always available to wxWidgets programs and this symbol only indicates a presence of such primitive type. It is useful to decide whether some function should be overloaded for both long and long long types.} @itemdef{wxHAS_MULTIPLE_FILEDLG_FILTERS, Defined if wxFileDialog supports multiple ('|'-separated) filters.} @itemdef{wxHAS_IMAGES_IN_RESOURCES, Defined if Windows resource files or OS/2 resource files are available on the current platform.} @itemdef{wxHAS_POWER_EVENTS, Defined if wxPowerEvent are ever generated on the current platform.} @itemdef{wxHAS_RADIO_MENU_ITEMS, Defined if the current port supports radio menu items (see wxMenu::AppendRadioItem).} @itemdef{wxHAS_RAW_BITMAP, Defined if direct access to bitmap data using the classes in @c wx/rawbmp.h is supported.} @itemdef{wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES, Defined if raw key codes (see wxKeyEvent::GetRawKeyCode are supported.} @itemdef{wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED, Defined if advanced syntax is available in wxRegEx.} @itemdef{wxHAS_TASK_BAR_ICON, Defined if wxTaskBarIcon is available on the current platform.} @endDefList @section page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h Library Selection for MSVC Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special @c wx/setup.h file for this compiler in @c include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the wxWidgets libraries using MSVC-specific pragmas which usually is much more convenient than manually specifying the libraries list in all of the project configurations. However sometimes linking with all the libraries is not desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured: - wxNO_ADV_LIB - wxNO_AUI_LIB - wxNO_HTML_LIB - wxNO_MEDIA_LIB - wxNO_NET_LIB - wxNO_PROPGRID_LIB - wxNO_QA_LIB - wxNO_RICHTEXT_LIB - wxNO_WEBVIEW_LIB - wxNO_XML_LIB - wxNO_REGEX_LIB - wxNO_EXPAT_LIB - wxNO_JPEG_LIB - wxNO_PNG_LIB - wxNO_TIFF_LIB - wxNO_ZLIB_LIB Notice that the base library is always included and the core is always included for the GUI applications (i.e. those which don't define @c wxUSE_GUI as 0). If the makefiles have been used to build the libraries from source and the @c CFG variable has been set to specify a different output path for that particular configuration of build then the @c wxCFG preprocessor symbol should be set in the project that uses wxWidgets to the same value as the @c CFG variable in order for the correct @c wx/setup.h file to automatically be included for that configuration. @section page_cppconst_miscellaneous Miscellaneous @beginDefList @itemdef{__WXWINDOWS__, always defined in wxWidgets applications, see also wxCHECK_VERSION} @itemdef{wxDEBUG_LEVEL, defined as 1 by default, may be pre-defined as 0 before including wxWidgets headers to disable generation of any code at all for the assertion macros, see @ref overview_debugging} @itemdef{__WXDEBUG__, defined if wxDEBUG_LEVEL is 1 or more, undefined otherwise} @itemdef{wxUSE_XXX, if defined as 1, feature XXX is active, see the @ref page_wxusedef (the symbols of this form are always defined, use @if_ and not @ifdef_ to test for them)} @itemdef{WX_PRECOMP, is defined if precompiled headers (PCH) are in use. In this case, @c wx/wxprec.h includes @c wx/wx.h which, in turn, includes a number of wxWidgets headers thus making it unnecessary to include them explicitly. However if this is not defined, you do need to include them and so the usual idiom which allows to support both cases is to first include @c wx/wxprec.h} and then, inside #ifndef WX_PRECOMP, individual headers you need.} @itemdef{_UNICODE and UNICODE, both are defined if wxUSE_UNICODE is set to @c 1} @itemdef{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 @c 0, only wxBase is available.} @itemdef{wxUSE_BASE, only used by wxWidgets internally (defined as 1 when building wxBase code, either as a standalone library or as part of the monolithic wxWidgets library, defined as 0 when building GUI library only)} @itemdef{wxNO_RTTI, is defined if the compiler RTTI support has been switched off} @itemdef{wxNO_EXCEPTIONS, is defined if the compiler support for C++ exceptions has been switched off} @itemdef{wxNO_THREADS, if this macro is defined, the compilation options don't include compiler flags needed for multithreaded code generation. This implies that wxUSE_THREADS is 0 and also that other (non-wx-based) threading packages cannot be used neither.} @itemdef{WXMAKINGDLL_XXX, used internally and defined when building the library @c XXX as a DLL; when a monolithic wxWidgets build is used only a single @c WXMAKINGDLL symbol is defined} @itemdef{WXUSINGDLL, defined when compiling code which uses wxWidgets as a DLL/shared library} @itemdef{WXBUILDING, defined when building wxWidgets itself, whether as a static or shared library} @endDefList */
