Symbian^3 Variation Code

[dolfin]

Hi,
I would like to know what is the variation macro for Symbian^3 SDK.
My code supports multiple S60 platform and I use macros like __SERIES60_3X__ and __S60_50__ to differentiate between the platforms. Now I try to port my code to Symbian^3 but I couldn't find anywhere the macro that I should use to differentiate between the Symbian^3 code, the S60 5th edition code and the S60 3ed edition code.

I'll appreciate you help!

As a quick approach you could use #else

#if defined(__SERIES60_3X__)
#elif defined(__S60_50__)
#else
#endif

Otherwise you can check if epoc32\tools\e32plat.pm contains something. At least that is the place where S60 3rd edition SDK-s define platform marcros

#Added SERIES60 macros
my @EpocMacros=('__SYMBIAN32__','__SERIES60_31__','__SERIES60_3X__');

I'm already using #else for Symbian 0.8 cases.
And the file epoc32\tools\e32plat.pm contains only:

my @EpocMacros=('__SYMBIAN32__');

Is there any other place that this macro could be defined?

There can be many places. However until now this has been the place. This list may improve while the Symbian^3 SDK gets matured, it is only v0.8 after all. Since the SDK itself comes from Forum Nokia, it may be a good idea to place this request in the Feedback boards (the first group you see if you click back to "Home | Community | Discussion Boards" above).

Symbian Foundation opposes the idea of using release specific macros ( see http://developer.symbian.org/forum/s...ead.php?t=4557 ) so I guess the issue is still open for now. At least the legacy macros should be still provided so that existing code which makes use of such macros can be still compiled without too much trouble.

As of now you should try to identify a feature specific macro you can use from \epoc32\variant\symbian_os.h If you cannot find a feature specific one, you can a) open a bug report at the Symbian Foundation (recommended) and b) use the SYMBIAN_ENABLE_SPLIT_HEADERS which was introduced after Symbian^1 to differentiate between S60 5.0 and Symbian^3

Stuff in \epoc32\include\variant seems to be platform dependent already (at least I see a symbian_os_v9.2.hrh in a S60 3rd FP1 SDK). Anyway, this "new beginning" approach can be handled via the #else-way, and after that the feature-macros can be used.
