A:
It depends on what files are you using.
The compiler itself doesn't have such a flag, but it is common to have such a define in the operating system's SDK.
For example, the CRT has a Win32 define, which affects how it is compiled.

A:
The _WIN32 is always defined on Windows platform, checkout the predefined macros.

It is defined only if you include a certain file in your project, or using Visual Studio.

Although I seem to remember having a bit of a surprise once that the compiler for the Symbian emulator defined either _WIN32 or something like it. Sort of made sense, the emulator does run on Windows after all, but we didn't actually want our Win32-specific clauses to apply...

The _WIN32 macro is defined by the Microsoft C Compiler (cl.exe), it requires no additional #includes.

A:
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question but yes, you can do this. Obviously, you need to tell the compiler you're compiling on Windows (or operating system x) at compile time. I've seen a similar approach used for bit size of things like integers.
