Performing a conditional function based on windows OS

[Jesus805]

Hello all,

I'm wondering on how I could achieve performing a conditional function based on what operating system I'm using, for example,

if ( operatingSystem == Windows7 )
{
   foo()
}
else if ( operatingSystem == WindowsXP )
{
   etc()
}

Im pretty sure predefined macros won't help me with this since you have to choose the OS macro before you compile, I want this program to be flexable and unfortunately preprocessor macros are the only answer I'm getting when I google it. Thank you for your time!

Use GetVersionEx(). Read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724451(v=vs.85).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724833(v=vs.85).aspx for details on how to interpret the data.
