Thread: how to tell the compiler to avoid compiling sertion part ?

Hello,..

im working on applet that need to work both on windows and linux the problem is that i wish to create a single funciton that will work in diffrent ways on diffrent os .

i thout using
#ifdef __windows
#include <foo4win>
#endif __windows

#ifdef __linux
#include <foo4lin>
#endif __linux

int foo(){
#ifdef __windows
.
.
.
#endif __windows

ifdef __linux
.
.
.
#endif

but i don't know what ifdef i should use (since __linux didn't compile).
what is the proper #ifdef #endif for code for linux and windows

I find that a good approach is to define different files for platform dependent code. You then instruct your build tool to build according to the platform.

thnx this is what im asking for ..

ill check the __winr32

Thank to all .

To "fix" how different compilers define different constants for different OSes, use a couple of "ifs"

eg,

Code:

#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(WIN32) || defined(__windows)
#undef WIN32
#define WIN32
#endif

Or whatever.

Many UNIX compilers define the preprocessor directive unix, though not in ANSI mode since in that case constants have to start with _X or __x.
