Compiler constants

RAD Basic defines constants for exclusive use with the #If…Then…#Else directive. These constants are functionally equivalent to constants defined with the #const directive except that they are global in scope, so they apply everywhere in the project.

These are the defined compiler constants by RAD Basic:

Because Win32 returns True in both 32-bit and 64-bit development platforms, it is important that the order within the #If…Then…#Else directive returns the desired results in your code. For example, because Win32 returns True in 64-bit (Win32 is compatible in Win64 environments), checking for Win32 before Win64 results in the Win64 condition never running because Win32 returns True. The following order returns predictable results:

#If Win64 Then 
' Win64=true, Win32=true
#ElseIf Win32 Then 
' Win32=true
#Else 
' !!!! 
#End If
