Get compiler

[pixbyte]

As far as I understand, if I use mingw to compile my QT project the value _MSC_VER is undefined and if I use MSVC then it as the value of the MS compiler. I hope Iam right.
But is it also possible to get a similar value for MingW?
I need to split this define to use also if Mingw is used. Else it will use the default pragma pack that gives me issues with structures.
//#ifdef _MSC_VER || _MINGW_VER
#pragma pack(push, 1)
//#endif

Yes you are.

Sure, check _GLIBCXX_RELEASE for example. But probably it's better to use Qt's defines because they are guaranteed to work:

• Q_CC_GNU
• Q_CC_MSVC

But Q_CC_GNU means this is set on all QT platforms also with Linux and macOS. But I want to use there
the common packing, just on Windows I need to tell the compiler that the DLL was compiled with pragma pack(push,1) for MSC_VER and MingW.

Then check also for Q_OS_WIN
