Conditional compiling for 32/64 bits

[gma17]

Dear experts!
I can see from different posts that preprocessor directives can be used in NT8 indicators. Is it possible to make conditional compiling depending of 32/64 bits platform?
Something similar to the below part of the code:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit,Size = 12)]
	public struct My Data
		{
		 FieldOffset(0)]	public	int			iCode;		 		
		 FieldOffset(4)]	public	IntPtr			szName;
	#if NT8_32 									
		 FieldOffset(8)]	public	int			iReserved;
	#endif
		}

If answer is “yes”, what could be the directive in #if statement. If answer is "no" any suggestion about the ways to achieve similar result

Thank you in advance

Hello gma17,

Thanks for opening the thread.

There are not any supported preprocessor directives that I know of that can identify a 64bit compile from a 32bit compile.

I could submit a feature request on your behalf to request to have supported preprocessor directives for 32 bit and 64 bit compiles if it interests you.

If that is the case, please let me know.

Helo Jim!

Thank you for the fast reply.
Well, It could be a good feature in the future, but I'll need to find another solution.

With kind regards

Hello gma17,

As a thought, you could place this in a separate namespace and include that namespace depending on the version of the script you are working on. This wouldn't be as 'seamless' as having the code indeffed, but it could lead you in a way where you can cleanly separate code from different versions of the script.

Our colleague Chelsea has posted an example of how an AddOn can be used for general use methods and variables.
