Just working through the various configuration options for the different compilers, and it seems that DMC does not support -U (to undefine a named symbol). Is there another command for this? Also, how does one undefine all symbols?

btw, congrats on "-cpp". :-)

There is no -U, just a -u to undefine all the symbols.

How about adding one? :-)

Nobody has asked for it in 20 years. I've also never seen it used in any makefile. I've suspected from the beginning that it was a solution in search of a problem <g>.

I use it a lot, to stop Win32 compilers from thinking that they're on Win32, when I want to test some UNIX code.

#undef _WIN32

will work, too.

But that's in code. How would I insert that in the command-line of the Arturius tool-chain?

You can add:
    -HImatthew.h
where matthew.h contains:
    #undef _WIN32

That's pretty cool. :)

I can just have a well-known directory associated with the Arturius installation, and then translate -U for DMC++ to the above.

And you call me devious ... ;)
