Did you try to simplify this silly macro to this:
#define PLATFORM(WTF_FEATURE) WTF_PLATFORM_##WTF_FEATURE
According to #if preprocessing directive specification, any undefined identifier
will be evaluated as 0.
Which means "#if PLATFORM(DARWIN)" will give "#if WTF_PLATFORM_DARWIN" which,
logically, should be evaluated to zero if such identifier is undefined.
I failed to see why someone defining a macro as an expression will ever needs to
check if an identifier is defined before evaluating its value, as 0 is specified
as the default value for any undefined identifier...
Anyway, maybe it worth a try.
