The following preprocessor macros are to be used for conditional
compilation related to Win32 in GLib-using code:
- `G_OS_WIN32` is defined when compiling for native Win32, without
any POSIX emulation, other than to the extent provided by the
bundled Microsoft C library.
- `G_OS_WIN32` and `G_PLATFORM_WIN32` are defined when compiling for native
Win32, without any POSIX emulation, other than to the extent provided by
the bundled Microsoft C library. Either can be used to check when
conditionally compiling GLib-using code for Win32.
- `G_WITH_CYGWIN` is defined if compiling for the Cygwin
environment. Note that `G_OS_WIN32` is *not* defined in that case, as
Cygwin is supposed to behave like Unix. `G_OS_UNIX` *is* defined by a GLib
for Cygwin.
- `G_PLATFORM_WIN32` is defined when either `G_OS_WIN32` or `G_WITH_CYGWIN`
is defined.
for Cygwin, but `G_PLATFORM_WIN32` is *no longer* defined by GLib for
Cygwin.
These macros are defined in `glibconfig.h`, and are thus available in
all source files that include `<glib.h>`.
