BCCIOSARM

Go Up to Clang-enhanced C++ Compilers

BCCIOSARM is the RAD Studio C++ compiler for 32-bit iOS.

BCCIOSARM is based on Clang. See Clang-enhanced C++ Compilers for information that the BCCIOSARM compiler has in common with other Clang-enhanced C++ compilers.

Notes:

• BCCIOSARM does not support the iOS Simulator. The iOS Simulator runs a special, non-ARM version of iOS. RAD Studio does not provide any C++ compiler for the iOS Simulator.
• For 64-bit iOS, use BCCIOSARM64 instead.

Writing C++ Code for BCCIOSARM

To write C++ code specifically for BCCIOSARM, use:

#if defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__arm__)
    // Your code.
#endif

Note: This is compiler-specific code, and it is not the recommended way to write iOS-specific code. See Creating an iOS App, Writing Code for iOS Only.

For more information, see Clang-enhanced C++ Compilers, Predefined Macros.
