+\section{Preprocessor 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
\twocolitem{\_\_WINDOWS\_\_}{any Windows, yom may also use \_\_WXMSW\_\_}
\twocolitem{\_\_WIN16\_\_}{Win16 API (not supported since wxWidgets 2.6)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WIN32\_\_}{Win32 API}
-\twocolitem{\_\_WIN95\_\_}{Windows 95 or NT 4.0 and above system (not NT 3.5x)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXBASE\_\_}{Only wxBase, no GUI features (same as \texttt{wxUSE\_GUI} $== 0$)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXCOCOA\_\_}{OS X using Cocoa API}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXWINCE\_\_}{Windows CE}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMGL\_\_}{SciTech Soft MGL (\_\_WXUNIVERSAL\_\_ will be also
defined)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXMSW\_\_}{Any Windows}
-\twocolitem{\_\_WXOS2\_\_}{Identical to \_\_WXPM\_\_}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXOSX\_\_}{Any Mac OS X port (either Carbon or Cocoa)}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXPALMOS\_\_}{PalmOS}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXPM\_\_}{OS/2 native Presentation Manager}
\twocolitem{\_\_X\_\_}{any X11-based GUI toolkit except GTK+}

-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
+There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS. One of them, wxMac, exists in two 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)

-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.
-
+The convention is to use the \texttt{\_\_WX} prefix for these
+symbols, although this has not always been followed.

-Combination of these symbols with GUI symbols describes real hardware
-(like \_\_PDA\_\_ $&&$ \_\_WXWINCE\_\_ $==$ PocketPC devices).

+this case, \texttt{wx/wxprec.h} includes \texttt{wx/wx.h} which, in turn,
+includes a number of wxWidgets headers thus making it unnecessary to include
+them explicitly. However if this is not defined, you do need to include them
+and so the usual idiom which allows to support both cases is to first include
+\texttt{wx/wxprec.h} and then, inside \texttt{#ifndef WX\_PRECOMP}, individual
+headers you need.}
\twocolitem{\_UNICODE and UNICODE}{both are defined if wxUSE\_UNICODE is set to $1$}
\twocolitem{wxUSE\_GUI}{this particular feature test macro is defined to $1$
when compiling or using the library with the GUI features activated, if it is
implies that wxUSE\_THREADS is $0$ and also that other (non wx-based) threading
packages cannot be used neither.}
