2689 :: How to check the backend at compile time?

  Is there some way to check what backend was used at compile time? I don't mean a specific feature of the backend (some can be found in system module), but e.g. the name of backend as string.

  You can do this:

  const someGcc = defined(gcc) or defined(llvm_gcc) or defined(clang)
  Run

  defined(cpp) C++ target
  defined(objc) Objective C target
  defined(js) JavaScript target
  

  I don't think there is a define for the "C target", but you can use not defined(cpp) and not defined(objc) and not defined(js) for this.
