The idea is:
version (linux)
{
...
}
else version (Windows)
{
...
}
else version (OSX)
{
...
}
else
{
static assert(0);
}
I.e. the values should be POSITIVELY set for each system, NOT defaulted. The
advantages are:
1. when you port to a new system, you get compile time errors for every place
where you need to check/fix the values
2. if you want to fix the values for one system, you don't muck up the values
for any other system
- Why, oh why, is "linux" the only OS version() identifier that is not
capitalized?
Because "linux" is what gcc predefines for Linux. (gcc also sets __gnu_linux,
__linux__, and __linux, none of which are capitalized. It's the Linux way, not
some nefarious plot of mine to disparage it.)
