NAME

6       feature_test_macros - feature test macros

DESCRIPTION

9       Feature  test  macros  allow  the programmer to control the definitions
10       that are exposed by system header files when a program is compiled.
11
12       NOTE: In order to be effective, a feature test macro  must  be  defined
13       before including any header files.  This can be done either in the com‐
14       pilation command (cc -DMACRO=value) or by defining the macro within the
15       source  code  before  including  any headers.  The requirement that the
16       macro must be defined before including any header file  exists  because
17       header files may freely include one another.  Thus, for example, in the
18       following lines, defining the _GNU_SOURCE  macro  may  have  no  effect
19       because  the  header  <abc.h> itself includes <xyz.h> (POSIX explicitly
20       allows this):
21
22           #include <abc.h>
23           #define _GNU_SOURCE
24           #include <xys.h>
25
26       Some feature test macros are useful for creating portable applications,
27       by preventing nonstandard definitions from being exposed.  Other macros
28       can be used to expose nonstandard definitions that are not  exposed  by
29       default.
30
31       The  precise effects of each of the feature test macros described below
32       can be ascertained by inspecting the <features.h> header  file.   Note:
33       applications  do  not  need  to  directly include <features.h>; indeed,
34       doing so is actively discouraged.  See NOTES.
35
36   Specification of feature test macro requirements in manual pages
37       When a function requires that a feature test macro is defined, the man‐
38       ual page SYNOPSIS typically includes a note of the following form (this
39       example from the acct(2) manual page):
40
41               #include <unistd.h>
42
43               int acct(const char *filename);
44
45           Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
46           feature_test_macros(7)):
47
48               acct(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
49
50       The || means that in order to obtain the declaration  of  acct(2)  from
51       <unistd.h>,  either  of  the  following  macro definitions must be made
52       before including any header files:
53
54           #define _BSD_SOURCE
55           #define _XOPEN_SOURCE        /* or any value < 500 */
56
57       Alternatively, equivalent definitions can be included in  the  compila‐
58       tion command:
59
60           cc -D_BSD_SOURCE
61           cc -D_XOPEN_SOURCE           # Or any value < 500
62
63       Note  that, as described below, some feature test macros are defined by
64       default, so that it may not always be necessary to  explicitly  specify
65       the feature test macro(s) shown in the SYNOPSIS.
66
67       In a few cases, manual pages use a shorthand for expressing the feature
68       test macro requirements (this example from readahead(2)):
69
70           #define _GNU_SOURCE
71           #include <fcntl.h>
72
73       ssize_t readahead(int fd, off64_t *offset, size_t count);
74
75       This format is employed in cases where only a single feature test macro
76       can  be  used to expose the function declaration, and that macro is not
77       defined by default.
78
79   Feature test macros understood by glibc
80       The paragraphs below explain how feature test  macros  are  handled  in
81       Linux glibc 2.x, x > 0.
82
83       First, though a summary of a few details for the impatient:
84
85       *  The  macros  that  you most likely need to use in modern source code
86          are  _POSIX_C_SOURCE  (for  definitions  from  various  versions  of
87          POSIX.1),  _XOPEN_SOURCE  (for  definitions from various versions of
88          SUS),  _GNU_SOURCE  (for  GNU  and/or  Linux  specific  stuff),  and
89          _DEFAULT_SOURCE  (to get definitions that would normally be provided
90          by default).
91
92       *  Certain macros are defined with default values.  Thus, although  one
93          or more macros may be indicated as being required in the SYNOPSIS of
94          a man page, it may not be necessary to define them explicitly.  Full
95          details of the defaults are given later in this man page.
96
97       *  Defining  _XOPEN_SOURCE  with a value of 600 or greater produces the
98          same effects as defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value of 200112L  or
99          greater.  Where one sees
100
101              _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
102
103          in  the  feature  test  macro  requirements in the SYNOPSIS of a man
104          page, it is implicit that the following has the same effect:
105
106              _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
107
108       *  Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 700 or greater  produces  the
109          same  effects as defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value of 200809L or
110          greater.  Where one sees
111
112              _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
113
114          in the feature test macro requirements in  the  SYNOPSIS  of  a  man
115          page, it is implicit that the following has the same effect:
116
117              _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
118
119       Linux glibc understands the following feature test macros:
120
121       __STRICT_ANSI__
122               ISO  Standard  C.   This  macro is implicitly defined by gcc(1)
123               when invoked with, for example, the -std=c99 or -ansi flag.
124
125       _POSIX_C_SOURCE
126               Defining this macro causes header files to  expose  definitions
127               as follows:
128
129               ·  The  value  1 exposes definitions conforming to POSIX.1-1990
130                  and ISO C (1990).
131
132               ·  The value 2 or greater additionally exposes definitions  for
133                  POSIX.2-1992.
134
135               ·  The  value  199309L  or greater additionally exposes defini‐
136                  tions for POSIX.1b (real-time extensions).
137
138               ·  The value 199506L or greater  additionally  exposes  defini‐
139                  tions for POSIX.1c (threads).
140
141               ·  (Since  glibc  2.3.3) The value 200112L or greater addition‐
142                  ally exposes definitions corresponding to  the  POSIX.1-2001
143                  base  specification  (excluding  the  XSI  extension).  This
144                  value also causes C95 (since  glibc  2.12)  and  C99  (since
145                  glibc  2.10)  features  to  be  exposed (in other words, the
146                  equivalent of defining _ISOC99_SOURCE).
147
148               ·  (Since glibc 2.10) The value 200809L or greater additionally
149                  exposes  definitions  corresponding to the POSIX.1-2008 base
150                  specification (excluding the XSI extension).
151
152       _POSIX_SOURCE
153               Defining this obsolete macro with any value  is  equivalent  to
154               defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the value 1.
155
156               Since  this macro is obsolete, its usage is generally not docu‐
157               mented when discussing feature test macro requirements  in  the
158               man pages.
159
160       _XOPEN_SOURCE
161               Defining  this  macro causes header files to expose definitions
162               as follows:
163
164               ·  Defining with any value exposes  definitions  conforming  to
165                  POSIX.1, POSIX.2, and XPG4.
166
167               ·  The  value  500  or greater additionally exposes definitions
168                  for SUSv2 (UNIX 98).
169
170               ·  (Since glibc 2.2) The  value  600  or  greater  additionally
171                  exposes   definitions   for   SUSv3   (UNIX  03;  i.e.,  the
172                  POSIX.1-2001 base specification plus the XSI extension)  and
173                  C99 definitions.
174
175               ·  (Since  glibc  2.10)  The  value 700 or greater additionally
176                  exposes definitions for SUSv4 (i.e., the  POSIX.1-2008  base
177                  specification plus the XSI extension).
178
179               If  __STRICT_ANSI__ is not defined, or _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined
180               with  a  value  greater  than  or  equal  to  500  and  neither
181               _POSIX_SOURCE  nor  _POSIX_C_SOURCE is explicitly defined, then
182               the following macros are implicitly defined:
183
184               ·  _POSIX_SOURCE is defined with the value 1.
185
186               ·  _POSIX_C_SOURCE  is  defined,  according  to  the  value  of
187                  _XOPEN_SOURCE:
188
189                  _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500
190                         _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 2.
191
192                  500 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE < 600
193                         _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 199506L.
194
195                  600 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE < 700
196                         _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 200112L.
197
198                  700 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE (since glibc 2.10)
199                         _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 200809L.
200
201               In  addition,  defining  _XOPEN_SOURCE  with  a value of 500 or
202               greater    produces    the    same    effects    as    defining
203               _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
204
205       _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
206               If  this  macro  is defined, and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, then
207               expose definitions corresponding to  the  XPG4v2  (SUSv1)  UNIX
208               extensions  (UNIX  95).  Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of
209               500  or  more  also  produces  the  same  effect  as   defining
210               _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.   Use  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED in new
211               source code should be avoided.
212
213               Since defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 500  or  more  has
214               the  same effect as defining _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, the latter
215               (obsolete) feature test macro is generally not described in the
216               SYNOPSIS in man pages.
217
218       _ISOC99_SOURCE (since glibc 2.1.3)
219               Exposes declarations consistent with the ISO C99 standard.
220
221               Earlier  glibc  2.1.x  versions  recognized an equivalent macro
222               named _ISOC9X_SOURCE (because the C99  standard  had  not  then
223               been  finalized).   Although the use of this macro is obsolete,
224               glibc continues to recognize it for backward compatibility.
225
226               Defining _ISOC99_SOURCE also exposes ISO C (1990)  Amendment  1
227               ("C95")  definitions.   (The  primary change in C95 was support
228               for international character sets.)
229
230               Invoking the C compiler with the option -std=c99  produces  the
231               same effects as defining this macro.
232
233       _ISOC11_SOURCE (since glibc 2.16)
234               Exposes  declarations  consistent  with  the  ISO C11 standard.
235               Defining this macro also enables C99  and  C95  features  (like
236               _ISOC99_SOURCE).
237
238               Invoking  the  C compiler with the option -std=c11 produces the
239               same effects as defining this macro.
240
241       _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
242               Expose definitions for the alternative API specified by the LFS
243               (Large File Summit) as a "transitional extension" to the Single
244               UNIX   Specification.    (See    ⟨http://opengroup.org/platform
245               /lfs.html⟩.)   The  alternative  API  consists  of a set of new
246               objects (i.e., functions and types) whose  names  are  suffixed
247               with   "64"  (e.g.,  off64_t  versus  off_t,  lseek64()  versus
248               lseek(), etc.).  New programs should  not  employ  this  macro;
249               instead _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 should be employed.
250
251       _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
252               This  macro  was  historically used to expose certain functions
253               (specifically fseeko(3) and ftello(3)) that address limitations
254               of  earlier  APIs (fseek(3) and ftell(3)) that use long int for
255               file  offsets.    This   macro   is   implicitly   defined   if
256               _XOPEN_SOURCE  is defined with a value greater than or equal to
257               500.  New programs  should  not  employ  this  macro;  defining
258               _XOPEN_SOURCE  as  just described or defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
259               with the value 64 is the preferred  mechanism  to  achieve  the
260               same result.
261
262       _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
263               Defining  this  macro  with the value 64 automatically converts
264               references to 32-bit functions and data types related  to  file
265               I/O  and  filesystem operations into references to their 64-bit
266               counterparts.  This is useful for performing I/O on large files
267               (>  2  Gigabytes) on 32-bit systems.  (Defining this macro per‐
268               mits correctly written programs to use large files with only  a
269               recompilation being required.)
270
271               64-bit systems naturally permit file sizes greater than 2 Giga‐
272               bytes, and on those systems this macro has no effect.
273
274       _BSD_SOURCE (deprecated since glibc 2.20)
275               Defining this macro with  any  value  causes  header  files  to
276               expose BSD-derived definitions.
277
278               In glibc versions up to and including 2.18, defining this macro
279               also causes BSD definitions to be preferred in some  situations
280               where  standards  conflict, unless one or more of _SVID_SOURCE,
281               _POSIX_SOURCE,         _POSIX_C_SOURCE,          _XOPEN_SOURCE,
282               _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED,  or  _GNU_SOURCE  is  defined, in which
283               case  BSD  definitions  are  disfavored.   Since  glibc   2.19,
284               _BSD_SOURCE no longer causes BSD definitions to be preferred in
285               case of conflicts.
286
287               Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated.   It  now  has  the
288               same  effect  as defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE, but generates a com‐
289               pile-time warning (unless  _DEFAULT_SOURCE  is  also  defined).
290               Use  _DEFAULT_SOURCE  instead.   To  allow  code  that requires
291               _BSD_SOURCE in glibc 2.19 and earlier  and  _DEFAULT_SOURCE  in
292               glibc  2.20  and later to compile without warnings, define both
293               _BSD_SOURCE and _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
294
295       _SVID_SOURCE (deprecated since glibc 2.20)
296               Defining this macro with  any  value  causes  header  files  to
297               expose  System V-derived definitions.  (SVID == System V Inter‐
298               face Definition; see standards(7).)
299
300               Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated in the same  fashion
301               as _BSD_SOURCE.
302
303       _DEFAULT_SOURCE (since glibc 2.19)
304               This  macro can be defined to ensure that the "default" defini‐
305               tions are provided even when the defaults  would  otherwise  be
306               disabled,  as  happens  when  individual  macros are explicitly
307               defined, or the compiler is invoked in one  of  its  "standard"
308               modes  (e.g.,  cc -std=c99).   Defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE without
309               defining other individual macros or invoking  the  compiler  in
310               one of its "standard" modes has no effect.
311
312               The   "default"   definitions   comprise   those   required  by
313               POSIX.1-2008 and ISO C99, as well as various definitions origi‐
314               nally  derived  from  BSD and System V.  On glibc 2.19 and ear‐
315               lier, these defaults were approximately equivalent  to  explic‐
316               itly defining the following:
317

320       _ATFILE_SOURCE (since glibc 2.4)
321               Defining  this  macro  with  any  value  causes header files to
322               expose declarations of a range of  functions  with  the  suffix
323               "at";  see  openat(2).   Since  glibc  2.10, this macro is also
324               implicitly defined if _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with  a  value
325               greater than or equal to 200809L.
326
327       _GNU_SOURCE
328               Defining   this  macro  (with  any  value)  implicitly  defines
329               _ATFILE_SOURCE,      _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE,       _ISOC99_SOURCE,
330               _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the
331               value 200809L (200112L in glibc versions before  2.10;  199506L
332               in  glibc versions before 2.5; 199309L in glibc versions before
333               2.1) and _XOPEN_SOURCE with the value 700 (600  in  glibc  ver‐
334               sions before 2.10; 500 in glibc versions before 2.2).  In addi‐
335               tion, various GNU-specific extensions are also exposed.
336
337               Since glibc 2.19, defining _GNU_SOURCE also has the  effect  of
338               implicitly  defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE.  In glibc versions before
339               2.20, defining _GNU_SOURCE also had the  effect  of  implicitly
340               defining _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE.
341
342       _REENTRANT
343               Historically, on various C libraries it was necessary to define
344               this macro in all multithreaded code.  (Some  C  libraries  may
345               still require this.)  In glibc, this macro also exposed defini‐
346               tions of certain reentrant functions.
347
348               However, glibc has been thread-safe by default for many  years;
349               since  glibc  2.3,  the  only effect of defining _REENTRANT has
350               been to enable one or two of the  same  declarations  that  are
351               also  enabled  by  defining  _POSIX_C_SOURCE  with  a  value of
352               199606L or greater.
353
354               _REENTRANT is now obsolete.  In glibc 2.25 and later,  defining
355               _REENTRANT  is  equivalent to defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the
356               value 199606L.  If a higher POSIX conformance level is selected
357               by   any   other   means   (such   as  _POSIX_C_SOURCE  itself,
358               _XOPEN_SOURCE, _DEFAULT_SOURCE, or _GNU_SOURCE), then  defining
359               _REENTRANT has no effect.
360
361               This  macro  is  automatically  defined  if  one  compiles with
362               cc -pthread.
363
364       _THREAD_SAFE
365               Synonym for the (deprecated) _REENTRANT, provided for  compati‐
366               bility with some other implementations.
367
368       _FORTIFY_SOURCE (since glibc 2.3.4)
369               Defining  this  macro causes some lightweight checks to be per‐
370               formed to detect some buffer  overflow  errors  when  employing
371               various  string and memory manipulation functions (for example,
372               memcpy(3), memset(3), stpcpy(3),  strcpy(3),  strncpy(3),  str‐
373               cat(3),   strncat(3),   sprintf(3),  snprintf(3),  vsprintf(3),
374               vsnprintf(3), gets(3), and wide  character  variants  thereof).
375               For  some functions, argument consistency is checked; for exam‐
376               ple, a check is made that open(2) has been supplied with a mode
377               argument  when  the  specified  flags include O_CREAT.  Not all
378               problems are detected, just some common cases.
379
380               If _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set  to  1,  with  compiler  optimization
381               level  1  (gcc -O1) and above, checks that shouldn't change the
382               behavior of conforming  programs  are  performed.   With  _FOR‐
383               TIFY_SOURCE  set  to  2,  some more checking is added, but some
384               conforming programs might fail.
385
386               Some of the checks can be performed at compile time (via macros
387               logic  implemented  in  header  files),  and result in compiler
388               warnings; other checks take place at run time, and result in  a
389               run-time error if the check fails.
390
391               Use  of  this  macro  requires compiler support, available with
392               gcc(1) since version 4.0.
393
394   Default definitions, implicit definitions, and combining definitions
395       If no feature test macros are explicitly defined,  then  the  following
396       feature  test macros are defined by default: _BSD_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19
397       and earlier), _SVID_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19 and earlier), _DEFAULT_SOURCE
398       (since glibc 2.19), _POSIX_SOURCE, and _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L (200112L
399       in glibc versions before 2.10; 199506L in glibc  versions  before  2.4;
400       199309L in glibc versions before 2.1).
401
402       If    any    of    __STRICT_ANSI__,    _ISOC99_SOURCE,   _POSIX_SOURCE,
403       _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, _BSD_SOURCE (in
404       glibc 2.19 and earlier), or _SVID_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19 and earlier) is
405       explicitly defined, then _BSD_SOURCE, _SVID_SOURCE, and _DEFAULT_SOURCE
406       are not defined by default.
407
408       If  _POSIX_SOURCE  and  _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not explicitly defined, and
409       either __STRICT_ANSI__ is not defined or _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined  with
410       a value of 500 or more, then
411
412       *  _POSIX_SOURCE is defined with the value 1; and
413
414       *  _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with one of the following values:
415
416          ·  2, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a value less than 500;
417
418          ·  199506L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a value greater than or
419             equal to 500 and less than 600; or
420
421          ·  (since glibc 2.4) 200112L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE  is  defined  with  a
422             value greater than or equal to 600 and less than 700.
423
424          ·  (Since  glibc  2.10)  200809L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a
425             value greater than or equal to 700.
426
427          ·  Older versions of glibc do not know about the values 200112L  and
428             200809L  for  _POSIX_C_SOURCE, and the setting of this macro will
429             depend on the glibc version.
430
431          ·  If   _XOPEN_SOURCE   is   undefined,   then   the   setting    of
432             _POSIX_C_SOURCE  depends  on the glibc version: 199506L, in glibc
433             versions before 2.4; 200112L, in glibc 2.4 to 2.9;  and  200809L,
434             since glibc 2.10.
435
436       Multiple macros can be defined; the results are additive.
437

CONFORMING TO

439       POSIX.1 specifies _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _POSIX_SOURCE, and _XOPEN_SOURCE.
440
441       _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED  was specified by XPG4v2 (aka SUSv1), but is not
442       present in SUSv2 and later.  _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is not specified by  any
443       standard, but is employed on some other implementations.
444
445       _BSD_SOURCE,     _SVID_SOURCE,     _DEFAULT_SOURCE,     _ATFILE_SOURCE,
446       _GNU_SOURCE, _FORTIFY_SOURCE, _REENTRANT, and _THREAD_SAFE are specific
447       to Linux (glibc).
448

NOTES

450       <features.h> is a Linux/glibc-specific header file.  Other systems have
451       an analogous file, but typically with a different  name.   This  header
452       file is automatically included by other header files as required: it is
453       not necessary to explicitly include it in order to employ feature  test
454       macros.
455
456       According  to which of the above feature test macros are defined, <fea‐
457       tures.h> internally defines various other macros that  are  checked  by
458       other  glibc  header  files.   These  macros have names prefixed by two
459       underscores (e.g., __USE_MISC).  Programs  should  never  define  these
460       macros  directly:  instead,  the appropriate feature test macro(s) from
461       the list above should be employed.
462

EXAMPLE

464       The program below can be used to explore how the various  feature  test
465       macros  are  set  depending  on the glibc version and what feature test
466       macros are explicitly set.  The following shell session,  on  a  system
467       with glibc 2.10, shows some examples of what we would see:
