BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION macro

[blazs]

Is it necessary for Node.js (version 0.11+) addons to define BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION macro? The compiler warns me that the macro is enabled by default.

Examples in the Addons Documentation define this macro. Is this deprecated? 

Cheers,

Blaz.

The macro is defined on the command line by node-gyp. You can see that by setting "V" to "1" when running node-gyp:

node-gyp build V=1

To be safe, you could define it like following:

#ifndef BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION

#define BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION 1

#endif /* BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION */

 

Examples in the Addons Documentation define this macro. Is this deprecated? 

You can find the binary add-ons documentation that matches the latest unstable release here:

http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.11.14/docs/api/addons.html.

I haven't tested the examples, but they do not define BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION.

Please let us know if that helps. If you find any problem in the binary add-ons documentation,

please file an issue at https://github.com/joyent/node/issues.

Thank you!
