Q. C/C++ Conditional compile by OS (Windows or Linux)
A. Use predefined macros like this:
#ifdef __linux__
// We are compiling on Linux
#elif defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64)
// We are compiling on Windows
#else
// Not windows or Linux!
#endif
Here's an example use:
char getNativeSlash() {
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64)
return '\\';
#else
return '/';
#endif
}
Or that could be done:
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64)
const char gNativeSlash = '\\';
#else
const char gNativeSlash = '/';
#endif
