Hello,

Everything is in the title, the following code compiles and shows
"Windows" even though I'm running Fedora 28. I can't understand.

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/predef.h>

int main()
{
#if defined(BOOST_OS_WINDOWS)
puts("Windows");
#endif
}

I'm using Boost 1.66 with GCC 8.0.1.

Hi David,

The correct way to check is not if BOOST_OS_WINDOWS is defined or not, but whether it's non-zero or not.

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/predef.h>

int main()
{
#if BOOST_OS_WINDOWS
puts("Windows");
#endif
}
