Hi, I'm looking for information on Xcode or the preprocessor that would indicate whether or not my code is being compiled for a non Mac GNU target or Mac OS X or iPhone OS.

What are the relevant defines and where can I find them in the documentation? Apparently I'm not using the correct keywords in my Google search or Xcode's documentation search window.

You can get a list of predefined macros using

 gcc -E -dM -x c /dev/null

which is usually quite a useful way of finding things you can test for these kinds of purposes. If you're interested in a language other than plain C, you can specify that after the "-x" (e.g. "objective-c", "c++").

Most platforms define some macros of their own that you can look for. Be careful, though; you shouldn't really test for a platform by looking for e.g. a processor-related macro.

The easier way to do this (and get more precise, per-target-per- configuration results from Xcode) is to select a source file, Get Info, click the Build tab, add -dM to it, then Preprocess that source file.
