__DATE__

The compilation date of the current source file. The date is a string literal of the form
Mmm dd yyyy. The month name
Mmm is the same as for dates generated by the library function asctime declared in TIME.H.

__FILE__

The name of the current source file. __FILE__ expands to a string surrounded by double quotation marks. To ensure that the full path to the file is displayed, use

/FC (Full Path of Source Code File in Diagnostics).

__LINE__

The line number in the current source file. The line number is a decimal integer constant. It can be changed with a
#line directive.

__STDC__

Indicates full conformance with the ANSI C standard. Defined as the integer constant 1 only if the

/Za compiler option is given and you are not compiling C++ code; otherwise is undefined.

__TIME__

The most recent compilation time of the current source file. The time is a string literal of the form
hh:mm:ss.

__TIMESTAMP__

The date and time of the last modification of the current source file, expressed as a string literal in the form
Ddd Mmm Date hh:mm:ss yyyy, where
Ddd is the abbreviated day of the week and Date is an integer from 1 to 31.

_ATL_VER

Defines the ATL version.

In Visual Studio 2012, _ATL_VER is defined as 0x0B00.

_CHAR_UNSIGNED

Default char type is unsigned. Defined when
/J is specified.

__CLR_VER

Defines the version of the common language runtime used when the application was compiled. The value returned will be in the following format:

Mmmbbbbb

where,

• M is the major version of the runtime

• mm is the minor version of the runtime

• bbbbb is the build number.

// clr_ver.cpp
// compile with: /clr
using namespace System;
int main() {
   Console::WriteLine(__CLR_VER);
}

__cplusplus_cli

Defined when you compile with /clr, /clr:pure, or
/clr:safe. Value of __cplusplus_cli is 200406. __cplusplus_cli is in effect throughout the translation unit.

// cplusplus_cli.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include "stdio.h"
int main() {
   #ifdef __cplusplus_cli
      printf("%d\n", __cplusplus_cli);
   #else
      printf("not defined\n");
   #endif
}

__cplusplus_winrt

Defined when you use the /ZW option to compile. The value of __cplusplus_winrt is 201009.

__COUNTER__

Expands to an integer starting with 0 and incrementing by 1 every time it is used in a source file or included headers of the source file.
__COUNTER__ remembers its state when you use precompiled headers.

The following example uses __COUNTER__ to assign unique identifiers to three different objects of the same type.

First, assume the following class definition. The constructor takes an integer as a parameter.

// initialize object with a read-only unique ID
exampleClass::exampleClass(int nID)
{
	m_nID = nID;
}

int exampleClass::GetID()
{
	return m_nID;
}

In main, the application declares three objects of type exampleClass, using
__COUNTER__ as the unique identifier parameter.

// Demonstration of __COUNTER__, assigns unique identifiers to 
//  different objects of the same type 
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	// __COUNTER__ is initially defined as 0
	exampleClass e1(__COUNTER__);

	// having been referenced, __COUNTER__ is now defined as 1
	exampleClass e2(__COUNTER__);

	// __COUNTER__ is now defined as 2
	exampleClass e3(__COUNTER__);

	printf("e1 ID: %i\n", e1.GetID());
	printf("e2 ID: %i\n", e2.GetID());
	printf("e3 ID: %i\n", e3.GetID());

	// Output 
	// ------------------------------ 
	// e1 ID: 0 
	// e2 ID: 1 
	// e3 ID: 2 

	return 0;
}

decorated name of the enclosing function as a string.

__FUNCDNAME__ is not expanded if you use the
/EP or
/P compiler option.

The following example uses the __FUNCDNAME__,
__FUNCSIG__, and __FUNCTION__ macros to display function information.

// Demonstrates functionality of __FUNCTION__, __FUNCDNAME__, and __FUNCSIG__ macros 
void exampleFunction()
{
	printf("Function name: %s\n", __FUNCTION__);
	printf("Decorated function name: %s\n", __FUNCDNAME__);
	printf("Function signature: %s\n", __FUNCSIG__);
	
	// Sample Output 
	// ------------------------------------------------- 
	// Function name: exampleFunction 
	// Decorated function name: ?exampleFunction@@YAXXZ 
	// Function signature: void __cdecl exampleFunction(void)
}

__FUNCSIG__

Valid only in a function. Defines the signature of the enclosing function as a string.

__FUNCSIG__ is not expanded if you use the
/EP or
/P compiler option.

On a 64-bit operating system, the calling convention is __cdecl by default.

See __FUNCDNAME__ for an example.

__FUNCTION__

Valid only in a function. Defines the undecorated name of the enclosing function as a string.

__FUNCTION__ is not expanded if you use the
/EP or
/P compiler option.

_MFC_VER

Defines the MFC version. For example, in Visual Studio 2012,
_MFC_VER is defined as 0x0B00.

_MSC_BUILD

Evaluates to the revision number component of the compiler's version number. The revision number is the fourth component of the period-delimited version number. For example, if the version number of the Visual C++ compiler is 15.00.20706.01, the
_MSC_BUILD macro evaluates to 1.

For example, if the version number of the Visual C++ compiler is 15.00.20706.01, the
_MSC_FULL_VER macro evaluates to 150020706. Type cl /? at the command line to view the compiler's version number.

_MSC_VER

Evaluates to the major and minor number components of the compiler's version number. The major number is the first component of the period-delimited version number and the minor number is the second component.
