__FreeBSD__ not available and unsigned long type

[Chetan Shukla]

Hi,
I tried this and got following output:

cerebrus# touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h | grep FreeBSD
#define __FreeBSD_cc_version 800001
#define __VERSION__ "4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]"
#define __FreeBSD__ 8


It means __FreeBSD__ is defined but how then to use it?

Regards,
Chetan

What does:

  touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h | grep FreeBSD

...return?
