+\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
+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}.

-In fact, they should better all start with \_\_WX instead of \_\_ only,
-so please start any new defines with \_\_WX.
+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).
+\end{itemize}
+
+The convention is to use the \texttt{\_\_WX} prefix for these
+symbols, although this has not always been followed.

+\subsection{Hardware architectures (CPU)}\label{cpuconst}

+\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{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{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
defined as $0$, only wxBase is available.}
\twocolitem{wxUSE\_BASE}{only used by wxWidgets internally (defined as $1$ when
building wxBase code, either as a standalone library or as part of the
monolithic wxWidgets library, defined as $0$ when building GUI library only)}
+\twocolitem{wxNO\_RTTI}{is defined if the compiler RTTI support has been switched off}
+\twocolitem{wxNO\_EXCEPTIONS}{is defined if the compiler support for C++
+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
+packages cannot be used neither.}
