There are Apple specific defines in GCC. As far as I know
__APPLE__
means compiling on Apple hardware, whereas
__APPLE_CC__
means compiling using an Apple supplied compiler.
However, the first one seems sometimes to be used when the last one is
intended.
Note, however, that as Brian suggested neither of the above helps with
the case under consideration if it is to be portable. Although
Accelerate can be assumed on (recent) OS X, it doesn't mean that it's
what R uses or the user wants. In fact BLAS headers are not always
available, so in most cases the problem listed here is not an issue at
all since the functions used can be simply declared. The real issue is
linking against the correct library and R provides no way to do that
automatically since it doesn't use cblas, so the only reliable way is
what Brian described.
Thanks to Prof Ripley, Kasper, and Simon.
