Is there a predefined C macro for detecting the version of OS X? I know __APPLE__ and __MACH__ exist, but those are binary. Is there a specific value for __APPLE_CC__ that indicates Lion?
In particular, Lion added a definition of getline() to <stdio.h> in Lion and it would be nice to be able to detect whether or not code was compiling on Lion or not to work around compilation errors.
Specifically, I’m referring to building Unix C code in Bash (outside of XCode).
The
Availability.hmacros allow you to check for compile- and run-time version dependencies. See the discussion here.
