Linux C++ compiler: support for __if_exists/ __if_not_exists?

[vladsychov]

Hello

Does Linux C++ compiler offers support for
__if_exists/ __if_not_exists?

Intel C++ compiler does support it, but what about Linux one?

Thank you.

No, not currently since this is not a gcc extension and on Linux* that is what we target for compatibility. We do have an open feature request though - I'll link this thread to that so that if there's any updates there, I'll update the thread here.

This is now supported in the Intel C++ Composer XE product under the -fms-dialect compiler option. I've run into a separate problem with compiling iostream under this option, so if you have problems yourself, let us know, but I didn't want to hold back on notifying you because of these issues.

Major modification here - this option is currently only supported for Mac OS*, and not for Linux* (although it seems to work okif you're not including system headers). Looks like we'll get this option supported for Linux in the next version. Sorry about the confusion there.

Any update on this? i.e. does __if_exists is supported for Linux with system headers included?

Thanks, Dmitry

Hi, commonly you make a validated for this case (if logic operator)

Hi Dmitry,

It looks like-fms-dialect is supported in our 12.1 compiler, which you can get in C++ Composer XE 2011 update 6 or later.
