Re: Parse error as GtkOldEditable is deprecated

[Deepa <deepa chacko wipro com>]

I used these flags for compilation:
    -DGTK_ENABLE_BROKEN=0  -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

Now, I find that even if you define it to 0, ifdef will take it to be
defined.  One has to use the -U flag to undefine a macro.

Shouldn't it be

#if GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
#endif

instead of

#ifdef GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
#endif

If it is the first way then one can unset it by -DGTK_ENABLE_BROKEN=0?

Thanks
