I request a new compiler constant that will return the Library SubSystem being compiled for, possibly named #PB_Compiler_LibrarySubSystem.

This would be helpful for condition compiling options that depend on the Library being used.

Help wrote: Syntax
Result = Subsystem(<constant string expression>)

Description
Subsystem can be used to find out if a subsystem is in use for the program being compiled. The name of the subsystem is case sensitive.

Example

Code: Select all

  CompilerIf Subsystem("OpenGL")
    Debug "Compiling with the OpenGL subsystem"
  CompilerEndIf

A constant is not possible, since theoretically several subsystems can be entered.

Thank you Josh for this information. I am able to code the things I need to now. I had overlooked the fact that more than one subsystem could be used.

Since my expressed need is already met by the method you shared I naturally withdraw my feature request.
