What C preprocessor conditional should I use for OS X specific code? I need to include a specific library if I am compiling for OS X or a different header if I am compiling for Linux.
I know there is __APPLE__ but I don't know if that is a current conditional for OS X 10.x.
This list of operating system macros says the presence of both __APPLE__ and __MACH__ indicate OSX.
Also confirmed at line 18 of part of the source for fdisk.
__APPLE__ will tell you you're compiling on an Apple platform. Unless you need to support MacOS versions before OS X, that should be good enough. Alternately, you could use __APPLE__ and __MACH__ to make sure you're compiling on OS X.
If I remember correctly, it's __APPLE__ :)
This code example may help you -
if defined(__APPLE__)
#include "TargetConditionals.h"
if (!defined(TARGET_OS_IPHONE) && !defined(TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR))
{
//write your OSX specific code here
}
old style raw:
#ifdef WIN32
// windows.
#elif __APPLE__
// osx and ios.
#endif
This page contains a list of all OS predefined macros.
For mac OSX both the __APPLE__ && __MACH__ need to be defined.
