# if _MSC_VER >= 1400

[visir]

Just found this in one program

Code Select Expand

#  if _MSC_VER >= 1400
_sopen_s(&handle, filepath, mod | opt, (dolock ? ((mod == O_RDONLY) ? _SH_DENYRD : _SH_DENYRW) : _SH_DENYNO), _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE);
#  else
handle = _sopen (filepath, mod | opt, (dolock ? ((mod == O_RDONLY) ? _SH_DENYRD : _SH_DENYRW) : _SH_DENYNO), _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE);
#  endif

codeblocks highlights the first part, while debugger stops at the second one. The "_MSC_VER >= 1400" seems to mean "visual studio 2005 or older". But I'm actually using msys2. This change has this comment: "fixed all VS2005 deprecated function warnings".

What should I do with this thing, any suggestions?

Disable the editor feature that greys out preprocessor directives...

That is indeed a suggestion, but...

Let's just chat about something. About, dunno, microsoft, preprocessor.

[oBFusCATed]

Chat about what? The editor doesn't know about defines from project/compiler settings, neither it knows about compiler built-in defines.
Until someone implement this, it is best to just disable this feature. And btw this is not the first time some one is complaining about this.

Hm...

Any way to print out the value of _MSC_VER? Compiler probably defines it in the headers somewhere, I need to find out the exact value and copy it into #defines in project options.

[oBFusCATed]

This is not a good idea. Why would you want to do this? This is internal define in the compiler, bad things will happen if there is a mismatch.
Most compilers make it possible to generate the preprocessed source code instead of object files. Search the internet for details how to do this with your compiler

Okay, it looks like _MSC_VER is undefined for me. And because it's undefined, expressions like #if _MSC_VER >= 1400 are equivalent to #if 0 >= 1400. This is actually in C and C++ standards, according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5085392/what-is-the-value-of-an-undefined-constant-used-in-if

Looks like there is a bug in codeblocks, if it thinks that _MSC_VER is undefined, and still thinks that _MSC_VER >= 1400 is true.

Actually whatever, I'll need to delete all those anyway.
