\section{Preprocesser symbols defined by wxWidgets}\label{cppconst}

These are preprocessor symbols used in the wxWidgets source, grouped
by category (and sorted by alphabetical order inside each category). All of
these macros except for the \texttt{wxUSE\_XXX} variety is defined if the
corresponding condition is true and undefined if it isn't, so they should be
always tested using \texttt{#ifdef} and not \texttt{#if}.

\subsection{GUI system}\label{guisystemconst}

\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt

\twocolitem{\_\_WXSTUBS\_\_}{Stubbed version ('template' wxWin implementation)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXXT\_\_}{Xt; mutually exclusive with WX\_MOTIF, not
implemented in wxWidgets 2.x}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXX11\_\_}{wxX11 (\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_ will be also defined)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXWINE\_\_}{WINE (i.e. WIN32 on Unix)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_}{wxUniversal port, always defined in addition
to one of the symbols above so this should be tested first.}
\twocolitem{\_\_X\_\_}{any X11-based GUI toolkit except GTK+}
\end{twocollist}

Mac situation is a bit confusing so a few extra words to explain it: there are
2 wx ports to Mac OS. One of them, wxMac, exists in 2 versions: Classic and
Carbon. The Classic version is the only one to work on Mac OS version 8. The
Carbon version may be built either as CFM or Mach-O (binary format, like ELF)
and the former may run under OS 9 while the latter only runs under OS X.
Finally, there is a new Cocoa port which can only be used under OS X. To
summarize:
\begin{itemize}
    \item If you want to test for all Mac platforms, classic and OS X, you
        should test both \texttt{\_\_WXMAC\_\_} and \texttt{\_\_WXCOCOA\_\_}
    \item If you want to test for any GUI Mac port under OS X, use
        \texttt{\_\_WXOSX\_\_}
    \item If you want to test for any port under Mac OS X, including, for
        example, wxGTK and also wxBase, use \texttt{\_\_DARWIN\_\_} (see below)
\end{itemize}


Note to implementors: although some of the symbols above don't start with 
\texttt{\_\_WX} prefix, they really should always use it, so please do start
any new symbols with it.
