Re: cpp -dM & MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED

The MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED was removed from the compiler because it was considered bad to pollute the defines namespace with not "__" prefixed defines. So now you have to explicitly include AvailabilityMacros.h. This shouldn't be a problem, however. For tcl it's fine to put it in tclUnixPort.h with the appropriate guards if you need it there, or for tk in tkMacOSXPort.h.

Note, when you test versions using MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_? you have to be a little careful. Don't assume that MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_? is defined, since on earlier systems than "?" it may not be... And since unknown preprocessor symbols default to 0, your test then won't do what you expected it to...

Since MAC_OS_X_VERSION_* is guaranteed to be defined on all systems >= that system, you can just do:

#if defined (MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3) && MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3

That's morally the same, and will guard against compiling in code that won't compile if built on earlier systems. Also, don't assume that if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 is NOT defined it means you are on 10.3, since the QT 7 SDK installs the Tiger version of AvailabilityMacros.h, which defines MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4...

...previously (10.3), when getting a list of preprocessor defines, I would see:

...

#define __USER_LABEL_PREFIX__ _

#define __FLT_EPSILON__ 1.19209290e-7F
#define __LDBL_MIN__ 2.2250738585072014e-308L
#define __ppc__ 1

...

...I just tried this "cpp -dM /dev/null" on my 10.4 install, and don't get a MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED definition: is this to be expected? If so, how should I test to see if I'm on 10.4 or greater? Are we forced to use the AccessibilityMacros.h? I ask because it turns out that sqrtf and friends are now defined in /usr/ local/architecture/ppc/math.h, but they weren't in >10.4...
