我们在编译一些跨平台的程序的时候难免会遇到_WIN32 __linux__什么之类的SDK或者编译器环境预定义的宏。有很多,之前还分不清_WIN32 和WIN32的区别。不过这里还好有个列表,做个备忘。

Type | Macro | Description |
Identification | _AIX | |
Version | _AIX'VR' | V = VersionR = Revision |
Identification | __TOS_AIX__ | Defined by xlC |
Example
If _AIX
is defined, then the following macros can be used to determine the version. Notice that the macros indicates the mentioned version or higher. For example, if _AIX43
is defined, then _AIX41
will also be defined.
AIX Version | Macro |
3.2.x | _AIX3 _AIX32 |

GNU aka
The official name of this operating system is GNU. Hurd is the kernel in the GNU operating system. It is often listed as GNU/Hurd since there is also GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD, which are most of the GNU operating system with the Linux and FreeBSD kernels respectively.

Notice that FreeBSD also defines __FreeBSD_kernel__
so the __GLIBC__
macro must be checked to distinguish it.
