In my own build of open source clang from svn trunk, it seems that __APPLE_CC__ is defined:

$ clang -dM -E - < /dev/null

#define __APPLE_CC__ 5621

So I don't think that will help.

That's probably a good idea...

Embarcadero's compiler is also based on clang, how do you deal with it?

I guess if the output of 'clang --version' includes the string 'Apple', it's "AppleClang" and not "clang".

But I think it may be a good idea to ask on cfe-dev or xcode-users mailing lists too...

Cheers,
