Really? Right now I am in an environment where several different
version of cpp and gcc don‘t define that. It seems to me that the
range of environments where gcc defines _WIN32 is pretty narrow.

To complement that， I have no idea what you mean by CPP or CC.

That‘s fine， this is exactly one platform that we have covered in the
passage above.

Yes， indeed. However， I know of no rule that says that， e.g.， unix must
be defined for any of the unices or for Linux， as the snippet of your
earlier mail that follows below seems to imply.

On my RH7.3 gcc does define unix， __unix， __unix__， linux， __linux，
and __linux__. However， it is enough to use the -ansi option to
make unix and linux disappear. There you go.

None of the standard glibc or glibc-kernel headers (meaning
linux-specific headers exposed to applications programmers) uses unix，
__unix， or __unix__ (some applications do， but it‘s their
business). This tells me that gcc only uses those internally， and not
to access any library or system facilities. This means that there may
be compilers that will not define these macros and still work just
fine.
