These are preprocessor symbols used in the wxWidgets source, grouped by category (and sorted by alphabetical order inside each category).
All of these macros except for the wxUSE_XXX variety is defined if the corresponding condition is true and undefined if it isn't, so they should be always tested using #ifdef and not #if.

There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS X. One of them, wxOSX is the successor of the venerable wxMac, it currently exists in three versions: Carbon and Cocoa for the desktop and a very early iPhone port. And there is the Cocoa port named wxCocoa which has not been updated very actively since beginning 2008. To summarize:
__WXOSX_MAC__. __WXOSX_IPHONE__. __WXOSX_OR_COCOA__. __DARWIN__ (see below).The convention is to use the __WX prefix for these symbols, although this has not always been followed.

| __BSD__ | Any *BSD system |
| __CYGWIN__ | Cygwin: Unix on Win32 |

The value of this macro corresponds to the compiler version: 1020 for 4.2 (the first supported version), 1100 for 5.0, 1200 for 6.0 and so on. For convenience, the symbols __VISUALCn__ are also defined for each major compiler version from 5 to 11, i.e. you can use tests such #ifdef __VISUALC7__ to test for compiler version being precisely 7. |

| __WATCOMC__ | Watcom C++. The value of this macro corresponds to the compiler version, 1100 is 11.0 and 1200 is OpenWatcom. |
Some library features may not be always available even if they were selected by the user. To make it possible to check if this is the case, the library predefines the symbols in the form wxHAS_FEATURE. Unlike wxUSE_FEATURE symbols which are defined by the library user (directly in setup.h or by running configure script) and which must be always defined as either 0 or 1, the wxHAS symbols are only defined if the corresponding feature is available and not defined at all otherwise.
Currently the following symbols exist:
| wxHAS_3STATE_CHECKBOX | Defined if wxCheckBox supports wxCHK_3STATE flag, i.e. is capable of showing three states and not only the usual two. Currently defined for almost all ports. |
| wxHAS_ATOMIC_OPS | Defined if wxAtomicInc() and wxAtomicDec() functions have an efficient (CPU-specific) implementation. Notice that the functions themselves are always available but can be prohibitively slow to use when implemented in a generic way, using a critical section. |
| wxHAS_BITMAPTOGGLEBUTTON | Defined in wx/tglbtn.h if wxBitmapToggleButton class is available in addition to wxToggleButton. |
| wxHAS_CONFIG_TEMPLATE_RW | Defined if the currently used compiler supports template Read() and Write() methods in wxConfig. |
| wxHAS_LARGE_FILES | Defined if wxFile supports files more than 4GB in size (notice that you must include wx/filefn.h before testing for this symbol). |
| wxHAS_LARGE_FFILES | Defined if wxFFile supports files more than 4GB in size (notice that you must include wx/filefn.h before testing for this symbol). |
| wxHAS_LONG_LONG_T_DIFFERENT_FROM_LONG | Defined if compiler supports a 64 bit integer type (available as wxLongLong_t) and this type is different from long. Notice that, provided wxUSE_LONGLONG is not turned off, some 64 bit type is always available to wxWidgets programs and this symbol only indicates a presence of such primitive type. It is useful to decide whether some function should be overloaded for both long and long long types. |
| wxHAS_MULTIPLE_FILEDLG_FILTERS | Defined if wxFileDialog supports multiple ('|'-separated) filters. |
| wxHAS_IMAGES_IN_RESOURCES | Defined if Windows resource files or OS/2 resource files are available on the current platform. |
| wxHAS_POWER_EVENTS | Defined if wxPowerEvent are ever generated on the current platform. |
| wxHAS_RADIO_MENU_ITEMS | Defined if the current port supports radio menu items (see wxMenu::AppendRadioItem). |
| wxHAS_RAW_BITMAP | Defined if direct access to bitmap data using the classes in wx/rawbmp.h is supported. |
| wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES | Defined if raw key codes (see wxKeyEvent::GetRawKeyCode are supported. |
| wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED | Defined if advanced syntax is available in wxRegEx. |
| wxHAS_TASK_BAR_ICON | Defined if wxTaskBarIcon is available on the current platform. |
Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special wx/setup.h file for this compiler in include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the wxWidgets libraries using MSVC-specific pragmas which usually is much more convenient than manually specifying the libraries list in all of the project configurations. However sometimes linking with all the libraries is not desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
Notice that the base library is always included and the core is always included for the GUI applications (i.e. those which don't define wxUSE_GUI as 0).
| __WXWINDOWS__ | always defined in wxWidgets applications, see also wxCHECK_VERSION |
| wxDEBUG_LEVEL | defined as 1 by default, may be pre-defined as 0 before including wxWidgets headers to disable generation of any code at all for the assertion macros, see Debugging |
| __WXDEBUG__ | defined if wxDEBUG_LEVEL is 1 or more, undefined otherwise |
| wxUSE_XXX | if defined as 1, feature XXX is active, see the wxUSE preprocessor symbols defined by wxWidgets (the symbols of this form are always defined, use #if and not #ifdef to test for them) |
| WX_PRECOMP | is defined if precompiled headers (PCH) are in use. In this case, wx/wxprec.h includes wx/wx.h which, in turn, includes a number of wxWidgets headers thus making it unnecessary to include them explicitly. However if this is not defined, you do need to include them and so the usual idiom which allows to support both cases is to first include wx/wxprec.h and then, inside #ifndef WX_PRECOMP, individual headers you need.} |
| _UNICODE and UNICODE | both are defined if wxUSE_UNICODE is set to 1 |
| wxUSE_GUI | this particular feature test macro is defined to 1 when compiling or using the library with the GUI features activated, if it is defined as 0, only wxBase is available. |
| wxUSE_BASE | only used by wxWidgets internally (defined as 1 when building wxBase code, either as a standalone library or as part of the monolithic wxWidgets library, defined as 0 when building GUI library only) |
| wxNO_RTTI | is defined if the compiler RTTI support has been switched off |
| wxNO_EXCEPTIONS | is defined if the compiler support for C++ exceptions has been switched off |
| wxNO_THREADS | if this macro is defined, the compilation options don't include compiler flags needed for multithreaded code generation. This implies that wxUSE_THREADS is 0 and also that other (non-wx-based) threading packages cannot be used neither. |
| WXMAKINGDLL_XXX | used internally and defined when building the library XXX as a DLL; when a monolithic wxWidgets build is used only a single WXMAKINGDLL symbol is defined |
| WXUSINGDLL | defined when compiling code which uses wxWidgets as a DLL/shared library |
| WXBUILDING | defined when building wxWidgets itself, whether as a static or shared library |
