No. You do not want to check against _MSC_VER for the format
specification. What matters is linking against the msvcrt, not the
compiler used. You *could* check the _MSC_VER in order to prefer "%lld"
when you know you'll be linking with non-buggy versions. But since they
are back-compatible to support the %I64 syntax, it isn't necessary.
You DO want to check against _MSC_VER for the data type itself. When
using MS compilers, it needs to be __int64 of some flavor, and long long
for non-MS compilers. Linking with the msvcrt is irrelevant for the data
type itself.
Perhaps I misunderstand the function of the makefile.ms then? I thought
that that was only included for doing a command-line compile with MSVC. And
I assumed that when doing that, you would _always_ link with msvcrt. Is
this wrong?
