The compiler does know whether it compiles for Windows or not. Doesn't it ?
The problem is not in the compiler.
The problem is that IF your code assumes that WideString=UnicodeString
then you will need to differentiate the 2 cases.
You can do this based on the OS define (bad practice, because it encompasses
an implicit assumption) or introduce a new define (as FPC did).
You can set this new define based on the OS, but this is secondary.
