__cplusplus is fairly useless except for detecting a C++ compiler.

You'll need to use feature detection e.g. 
https://github.com/ned14/Boost.BindLib/blob/master/include/cpp_feature
.h or 
https://github.com/ned14/Boost.BindLib/blob/master/include/boost/confi
g.hpp if you prefer the Boost named macros.
