AnswerYes. This can be done by using the #if,
#else, and #endif preprocessor directives. For
example, certain
compilers use different names for header files.
One such case is between Borland C++, which uses
the header file alloc.h, and Microsoft C++,
which uses the header file malloc.h. Both of
these headers serve the same purpose, and each
contains roughly the same definitions. If,
however, you are writing a program that is to
support Borland C++ and Microsoft C++, you must
define which header to include at compile time.
The following example shows how this can be
done:
#ifdef _ _BORLANDC_ _
#include
#else
#include
#endif
