The following system defines are built into the compiler so you can conditionally compile your code based on which defines are set using the .IFDEF-.ELSE-.ENDC compiler directive. For example, you can set an operating system define for the system on which you’re running and then conditionally compile your code for that system with .IFDEF. See Built-in compiler definitions for more information.
