Is there any predefined macro like _MSC_BUILD(supported from vs2008) in visual studio 2005?

Question

I hope for using any predefined macro like _MSC_BUILD (from vs2008) because I want to use revision number of compiler.

but i can't find that in vs2005.

thank you for your help.

Answer 1

The predefined macros list for VS 2005 shows _MSC_VER for getting the compiler versions.

Answer 2

There were no (accessible) revision numbers in the days of VS2005, so sadly, no there isn't. See the following web site for a full list of available macros:
