What are defines on different platforms (windows, mac, linux) that can tell your code that is it part of an application, not a library?

So I wonder how my code that can be included into different projects can find out if it is included into library of application? (on Linux, Mac and Windows)

The simple answer is that it can't. The decision whether an object file (generated by the compiler) is part of a library or part of the application isn't made until link time (and aren't libraries part of the application?).
