These are preprocessor symbols used in the wxWidgets source, grouped
by category (and sorted by alphabetical order inside each category). All of

+\subsection{Feature tests}\label{featuretests}
+
+Some library features may not be always available even if they were selected by
+the user. To make it possible to check if this is the case, the library
+predefines the symbols in the form \texttt{wxHAS\_FEATURE}. Unlike
+\texttt{wxUSE\_FEATURE} symbols which are defined by the library user (directly
+in \texttt{setup.h} or by running configure script) and which must be always
+defined as either $0$ or $1$, the \texttt{wxHAS} symbols are only defined if
+the corresponding feature is available and not defined at all otherwise.
+
+Currently the following symbols exist:
+\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_LARGE\_FILES}{Defined if \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} supports
+files more than 4GB in size.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_LARGE\_FFILES}{Defined if \helpref{wxFFile}{wxffile}
+supports files more than 4GB in size.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_POWER\_EVENTS}{Defined if
+\helpref{wxPowerEvent}{wxpowerevent} are ever generated on the current platform.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_RADIO\_MENU\_ITEMS}{Defined if the current port supports
+\helpref{radio menu items}{wxmenuappendradioitem}.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_RAW\_KEY\_CODES}{Defined if
+\helpref{raw key codes}{wxkeyeventgetrawkeycode} are supported.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_REGEX\_ADVANCED}{Defined if advanced syntax is available in
+\helpref{wxRegEx}{wxregex}.}
+\twocolitem{wxHAS\_TASK\_BAR\_ICON}{Defined if
+\helpref{wxTaskBarIcon}{wxtaskbaricon} is available on the current platform.}
+\end{twocollist}

\subsection{Miscellaneous}\label{miscellaneousconst}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\_\_WXWINDOWS\_\_}{always defined in wxWidgets applications, see
also \helpref{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{wxcheckversion}}
\twocolitem{\_\_WXDEBUG\_\_}{defined in debug mode, undefined in release mode}
-\twocolitem{wxUSE\_XXX}{if defined as $1$, feature XXX is active
-(the symbols of this form are always defined, use \#if and not \#ifdef to test
- for them)}
+\twocolitem{wxUSE\_XXX}{if defined as $1$, feature XXX is active, see the
+\helpref{complete list}{wxusedef} (the symbols of this form are always defined,
+use \#if and not \#ifdef to test for them)}
+\twocolitem{WX\_PRECOMP}{is defined if precompiled headers (PCH) are in use. In
+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
exceptions has been switched off}
\twocolitem{wxNO\_THREADS}{if this macro is defined, the compilation options
don't include compiler flags needed for multithreaded code generation. This
-implies that wxUSE\_THREADS is $0$ and also that other (non wx-based) threading
+implies that wxUSE\_THREADS is $0$ and also that other (non-wx-based) threading
packages cannot be used neither.}
+\twocolitem{WXMAKINGDLL\_XXX}{used internally and defined when building the
+library \texttt{XXX} as a DLL; when a monolithic wxWidgets build is used only a
+single \texttt{WXMAKINGDLL} symbol is defined}
+\twocolitem{WXUSINGDLL}{defined when compiling code which uses wxWidgets as a
+DLL/shared library}
+\twocolitem{WXBUILDING}{defined when building wxWidgets itself, whether as a
+static or shared library}
