Source: the documentation for the _MSC_VER
predefined macro
MSC v.1500
appears to be Visual C++ 2008 according to this thread on the OpenCobol forums (of all places).
The MSDN page on Predefined Macros indicates 1500 to be the result of the _MSC_VER
macro.
This other forum post mentions that
(For reference, Visual Studio 2003 has
_MSC_VER
= 1310; Visual Studio 2005 has_MSC_VER
= 1400; Visual Studio 2008 has_MSC_VER
= 1500.)
The above MSDN link said that 1600 indicates VS2010.
Strangely, I wasn't able to find that info about the earlier _MSC_VER
values on MSDN.
