Visual Studio Question

[novickivan]

Hi,

I realize this is not a C++ question, but I figure someone in this
group must know the answer.

If you are compiling C++ code in Visual Studio and you want to have a
macro #ifdef to detect the compile host... i.e.

#ifdef WIN_VISTA
#endif

Is there a predefined macro variable that can be checked?

Thanks,

Find a newsgroup with microsoft in its name.

There is a macro called WINVER, you can use it with #if #endif
statement

That actually gives the *target* platform compiling for, but might
actually be more interesting anyway.

Why do you need the host type?
