faq Default Compiler Defines

[FHannes]

SCAR contains a number of standard compiler defines that allow you to easily create backwards compatibility in your scripts. You can include/exclude code from a script during compilation with these.

 

Defines:

• DIVI - Defines in every SCAR Divi version since about 3.04
  
• SCAR3xx-yy_UP - Defined in every SCAR Divi version since 3.38.00, the xx is replaced by the major version number and yy by the minor version number. For 3.38.00 this would be SCAR338-00_UP. These defines remain in every version following the one where it was added.
  
• SCAR3xx_UP - Defined in every SCAR Divi version since about 3.04, the xx is replaced by the major version number. For 3.25 this would be SCAR325_UP. These defines remain in every version following the one where it was added.
  
• SCAR3xx - Defined in every SCAR Divi version since about 3.04, the xx is replaced by the major version number. This is removed witht he next version where a new one for that version is present.
  
• PORTABLE - Only present in the portable version of SCAR as of the 3.25 release.
  
• SCAR_PREALPHA - Only present in pre-alpha releases of SCAR as of the 3.32 release. Pre-alpha releases are usually not distributed to the public.
  
• SCAR_ALPHA - Only present in alpha releases of SCAR as of the 3.32 release.
  
• SCAR_BETA - Only present in beta releases of SCAR as of the 3.32 release.

Note that the SCAR3xx_UP and SCAR3xx defines will change to SCAR4xx_UP and SCAR4xx for SCAR 4 when it's released, all older 3xx defines will still be in there.
