How to recognize that CCS Compiler is used

Hi all.
Is there any way how to generally recognize that the code is being compiled by the CCS compiler?
Such as

I searched the DLL files for anything starting with '__' (double underscore),
and I couldn't see __CCS__ or __PICC__ or anything like that. So I
think it doesn't exist.

One quick idea...
Don't know if anyone else does but CCS puts SLEEP as the last instruction in their compiled code.
You could look at several programs you've cut to see if this is alway true.
If so, simple to search for.

I think he wants a way to make universal source code, so that he can
compile it with CCS or another compiler, and it will compile in either
compiler, without having to do any edits.

If so, that's why COBOL was invented.... First section dictated what type of machine it was to be used on, remaining sections were common 'universal' source code. Sure made life easy when 'flipping' between 3 or 4 systems....

Mind you that was 30 years ago.....
