Hiya, Is there a central list of all possible compilation switches? Also is there a one single switch to allow for all configurations but for NG only? Thanks!!

You mean like ?bmxng ? The list that bcc handles can be found around here : https://github.com/bmx-ng/bcc/blob/master/parser.bmx#L3749

It would be nice to have a more dynamic capability, but depending on how you implement it you lose build compatibility with the legacy compiler.

Thanks for highlighting the correct file with the options. Yes, 'bmxng' was the one I thinking of, it was obvious really eh :D Cheers!

List of switches in textform Regarding the dynamic capability: if you ignore vanilla compatibility, NG allows for a more complex evaluation of conditionals: ?bmxng and android ?bmxng and (android and not androidarmeabiv7a) ... vanilla does not allow such a concatenation of conditions BUT ... you can keep compatibility if you create multiple external files: ?bmxng import "yourfile.bmxng.bmx" ?not bmxng import "yourfile.bmxvanilla.bmx" ? within the *bmxng.bmx you could do your "ng only" things, while the vanilla one does not know about additional things like android targets. bye Ron

Thanks Derron, compiler switches as a proper expression is a nice touch.
