#define check for compiler (xCode/VS/ADT)

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Is there a way to setup a global .h file with some #define like compiler specific code that will check for the current compiler and define things?

Something like:

#if compiler=="xCode"
#define GLOBAL_PROJECT_PATH "/development/projects/abc/"
#elseif compiler=="Visual Studio"
#define GLOBAL_PROJECT_PATH "c:/development/projects/abc/"
#elseif compiler=="ADT"
#define GLOBAL_PROJECT_PATH "/development/projects/abc/"
#endif

I found this which lists most of the common Pre-defined Macros.
http://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Compilers/

Then I need to know what xCode and ADT will define, should be something like this:

 #ifdef _XCODE_
 #define GLOBALPROJECTPATH "/development/projects/abc/"
 // Microsoft Visual Studio will define _MSC_VER
 #elseifdef _MSC_VER
 #define GLOBALPROJECTPATH "c:/development/projects/abc/"
 #elseifdef _ADT_
 #define GLOBALPROJECTPATH "/development/projects/abc/"
 #endif

yes, there actually is an “#elseifdef”, at least for Visual Studio :

You can also check whether CC_TARET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_XYZ.

Thanks!

Here’s what Cocos2d is doing:

// mac
#if defined(CC_TARGET_OS_MAC)
#undef  CC_TARGET_PLATFORM
#define CC_TARGET_PLATFORM         CC_PLATFORM_MAC
#endif

#if defined(CC_TARGET_OS_IPHONE)
    #undef  CC_TARGET_PLATFORM
