Delphi CompilerVersion Constant

http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/CompilerVersion_Constant

The CompilerVersion constant identifies the internal version number of the Delphi compiler.

It is defined in the System unit and may be referenced either in code just as any other constant:

if CompilerVersion = 20 then
    sCompilerName := 'Delphi 2009';

or in conditional compiler expressions:

{$if CompilerVersion > 18} 
// Delphi 2007 or later 
{$endif}

The CompilerVersion constant was introduced in Delphi 6 along with conditional expressions.

In earlier Delphi versions various compiler defined VERxxx symbols are used to determine compiler versions.

CompilerVersion values and the equivalent compiler defined symbols

for the Delphi versions in which the CompilerVersion constant is defined are:

Compiler	CompilerVersion	Defined Symbol
Delphi XE3	24	VER240
Delphi XE2	23	VER230
Delphi XE	22	VER220
Delphi 2010	21	VER210
Delphi 2009	20	VER200
Delphi 2007 .NET	19	VER190
Delphi 2007	18.5	VER185
Delphi 2006	18	VER180
Delphi 2005	17	VER170
Delphi 8 .NET	16	VER160
Delphi 7	15	VER150
Delphi 6	14	VER140
Delphi 5	13	VER130
Delphi 4	12	VER120
Delphi 3	10	VER100
Delphi 2	9	VER90
Delphi 1	8	VER80

* This conditional define is shared by the Delphi compilers

used to build C#Builder 1 and Delphi 8, which do not natively support Delphi for Win32.

This define is used in the "IDE Integration Packs" that were released to Borland partners in order to allow IDE plugins like ModelMaker Code Explorer (http://www.modelmakertools.com/code-explorer/index.html) and Castalia (http://www.delphi-expert.com/castalia3) to be compiled.

** This conditional define is shared between C++Builder 6, Delphi 6, Kylix 1, 2, and 3

(Checking for the conditional define "LINUX" helps to determine whether the compiler is

Kylix or Delphi and "BCB" can be used to determine if C++Builder is being used).

*** This conditional define is shared with C++Builder 5

**** C++Builder 3.0 used VER110 (it had its own version of the Delphi compiler included).
