the leading underscore denotes that this define is "private" by the preprocessor, and thus should NOT be defined manually by the user. Some compilers define WIN32 also, but it's not guaranteed. the reverse as above: since preprocessors automatically define names _with_ leading underscores, they "should rather not" define names without leading underscores. > _WIN32 is the one that is defined everywhere (MSVC, MinGW, Cygwin, > Borland, ICC). apart from that, i think it would be ok to use MSW (or any other self-defined word) if the _WIN32, WIN32 and __WIN32 magic is handled in a centralized way (e.g. m_pd.h) fmga.sdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
