@subsection Feature Test Macros
|
|
|
|
@cindex feature test macros
|
|
The exact set of features available when you compile a source file
|
|
is controlled by which @dfn{feature test macros} you define.
|
|
|
|
If you compile your programs using @samp{gcc -ansi}, you get only the
|
|
@w{ISO C} library features, unless you explicitly request additional
|
|
features by defining one or more of the feature macros.
|
|
@xref{Invoking GCC,, GNU CC Command Options, gcc.info, The GNU CC Manual},
|
|
for more information about GCC options.@refill
|
|
|
|
You should define these macros by using @samp{#define} preprocessor
|
|
directives at the top of your source code files. These directives
|
|
@emph{must} come before any @code{#include} of a system header file. It
|
|
is best to make them the very first thing in the file, preceded only by
|
|
comments. You could also use the @samp{-D} option to GCC, but it's
|
|
better if you make the source files indicate their own meaning in a
|
|
self-contained way.

@comment POSIX.1
|
|
@defvr Macro _POSIX_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro, then the functionality from the POSIX.1
|
|
standard (IEEE Standard 1003.1) is available, as well as all of the
|
|
@w{ISO C} facilities.
|

@comment POSIX.2
|
|
@defvr Macro _POSIX_C_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro with a value of @code{1}, then the
|
|
functionality from the POSIX.1 standard (IEEE Standard 1003.1) is made
|
|
available. If you define this macro with a value of @code{2}, then both
|
|
the functionality from the POSIX.1 standard and the functionality from
|
|
the POSIX.2 standard (IEEE Standard 1003.2) are made available. This is
|
|
in addition to the @w{ISO C} facilities.

@defvr Macro _BSD_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro, functionality derived from 4.3 BSD Unix is
|
|
included as well as the @w{ISO C}, POSIX.1, and POSIX.2 material.
|
|
|
|
Some of the features derived from 4.3 BSD Unix conflict with the
|
|
corresponding features specified by the POSIX.1 standard. If this
|
|
macro is defined, the 4.3 BSD definitions take precedence over the
|
|
POSIX definitions.
|
|
|
|
Due to the nature of some of the conflicts between 4.3 BSD and POSIX.1,
|
|
you need to use a special @dfn{BSD compatibility library} when linking
|
|
programs compiled for BSD compatibility. This is because some functions
|
|
must be defined in two different ways, one of them in the normal C
|
|
library, and one of them in the compatibility library. If your program
|
|
defines @code{_BSD_SOURCE}, you must give the option @samp{-lbsd-compat}
|
|
to the compiler or linker when linking the program, to tell it to find
|
|
functions in this special compatibility library before looking for them in
|
|
the normal C library.

|

@defvr Macro _SVID_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro, functionality derived from SVID is
|
|
included as well as the @w{ISO C}, POSIX.1, POSIX.2, and X/Open material.
|
|
@end defvr

@comment (none)
|
|
@comment XOPEN
|
|
@defvr Macro _XOPEN_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro, functionality described in the X/Open
|
|
Portability Guide is included. This is a superset of the POSIX.1 and
|
|
POSIX.2 functionality and in fact @code{_POSIX_SOURCE} and
|
|
@code{_POSIX_C_SOURCE} are automatically defined.
|
|
|
|
As the unification of all Unices, functionality only available in
|
|
BSD and SVID is also included.
|
|
|
|
If the macro @code{_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED} is also defined, even more
|
|
functionality is available. The extra functions will make all functions
|
|
available which are necessary for the X/Open Unix brand.
|
|
@end defvr
|
|

@comment GNU
|
|
@defvr Macro _GNU_SOURCE
|
|
If you define this macro, everything is included: @w{ISO C}, POSIX.1,
|
|
POSIX.2, BSD, SVID, X/Open, and GNU extensions. In the cases where
|
|
POSIX.1 conflicts with BSD, the POSIX definitions take precedence.
|
|
|
|
If you want to get the full effect of @code{_GNU_SOURCE} but make the
|
|
BSD definitions take precedence over the POSIX definitions, use this
|
|
sequence of definitions:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
#define _GNU_SOURCE
|
|
#define _BSD_SOURCE
|
|
#define _SVID_SOURCE
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
Note that if you do this, you must link your program with the BSD
|
|
compatibility library by passing the @samp{-lbsd-compat} option to the
|
|
compiler or linker. @strong{Note:} If you forget to do this, you may
|
|
get very strange errors at run time.
|
|
@end defvr

@comment GNU
|
|
@defvr Macro _REENTRANT
|
|
@defvrx Macro _THREAD_SAFE
|
|
If you define one of these macros, reentrant versions of several functions get
|
|
declared. Some of the functions are specified in POSIX.1c but many others
|
|
are only available on a few other systems or are unique to GNU libc.
|
|
The problem is that the standardization of the thread safe C library
|
|
interface still is behind.
|
|
|
|
Unlike on some other systems no special version of the C library must be
|
|
used for linking. There is only one version but while compiling this
|
|
it must have been specified to compile as thread safe.
|
|
@end defvr
|
|
|
|
We recommend you use @code{_GNU_SOURCE} in new programs. If you don't
|
|
specify the @samp{-ansi} option to GCC and don't define any of these
|
|
macros explicitly, the effect is the same as defining
|
|
@code{_POSIX_C_SOURCE} to 2 and @code{_POSIX_SOURCE},
|
|
@code{_SVID_SOURCE}, and @code{_BSD_SOURCE} to 1.
|
|
|
|
When you define a feature test macro to request a larger class of features,
|
|
it is harmless to define in addition a feature test macro for a subset of
|
|
those features. For example, if you define @code{_POSIX_C_SOURCE}, then
|
|
defining @code{_POSIX_SOURCE} as well has no effect. Likewise, if you
|
|
define @code{_GNU_SOURCE}, then defining either @code{_POSIX_SOURCE} or
|
|
@code{_POSIX_C_SOURCE} or @code{_SVID_SOURCE} as well has no effect.
|
|
|
|
Note, however, that the features of @code{_BSD_SOURCE} are not a subset of
|
|
any of the other feature test macros supported. This is because it defines
|
|
BSD features that take precedence over the POSIX features that are
|
|
requested by the other macros. For this reason, defining
|
|
@code{_BSD_SOURCE} in addition to the other feature test macros does have
|
|
an effect: it causes the BSD features to take priority over the conflicting
|
|
POSIX features.
