Visual Studio: how to check used C++ platform toolset programmatically

Question

I have to build project using MSVC2012 and v100 platform toolset (from MSVC2010). Unfortunately I\'m using C++11 feature \"range based for\" across the code. I wonderin

Answer 1

I encountered the same problem and added my own preprocessor definition for _MSC_PLATFORM_TOOLSET.
In the project properties in

• C/C++
• Preprocessor
• Preprocessor Definitions

add _MSC_PLATFORM_TOOLSET=$(PlatformToolsetVersion) to make Visual Studio integrate the current Toolset's version to the preprocessor so that your query

#if (_MSC_PLATFORM_TOOLSET > 100)
...
#endif

will finally work.
