difference between #if defined(WIN32) and #ifdef(WIN32)
If you use #ifdef syntax, remove the brackets.
The difference between the two is that #ifdef
can only use a single condition,
while #if defined(NAME)
can do compound conditionals.
For example in your case:
#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(UNIX)
/* Do windows stuff */
#elif defined(UNIX) && !defined(WIN32)
/* Do linux stuff */
#else
/* Error, both can't be defined or undefined same time */
#endif
#ifdef FOO
and
#if defined(FOO)
are the same,
but to do several things at once, you can use defined, like
#if defined(FOO) || defined(BAR)
#ifdef
checks whether a macro by that name has been defined, #if
evaluates the expression and checks for a true value
#define FOO 1
#define BAR 0
#ifdef FOO
#ifdef BAR
/* this will be compiled */
#endif
#endif
#if BAR
/* this won't */
#endif
#if FOO || BAR
/* this will */
#endif
