20 /* ANSI and traditional C compatibility macros
22 ANSI C is assumed if __STDC__ is #defined.
24 Macro ANSI C definition Traditional C definition
25 ----- ---- - ---------- ----------- - ----------
26 ANSI_PROTOTYPES 1 not defined
28 PTRCONST `void *const' `char *'
29 LONG_DOUBLE `long double' `double'
31 volatile not defined `'
33 VA_START(ap, var) va_start(ap, var) va_start(ap)
35 Note that it is safe to write "void foo();" indicating a function
36 with no return value, in all K+R compilers we have been able to test.
38 For declaring functions with prototypes, we also provide these:
41 -- for functions which take a fixed number of arguments. Use this
42 when declaring the function. When defining the function, write a
43 K+R style argument list. For example:
45 char *strcpy PARAMS ((char *dest, char *source));
54 VPARAMS ((prototype, ...))
55 -- for functions which take a variable number of arguments. Use
56 PARAMS to declare the function, VPARAMS to define it. For example:
58 int printf PARAMS ((const char *format, ...));
61 printf VPARAMS ((const char *format, ...))
66 For writing functions which take variable numbers of arguments, we
67 also provide the VA_OPEN, VA_CLOSE, and VA_FIXEDARG macros. These
68 hide the differences between K+R <varargs.h> and C89 <stdarg.h> more
69 thoroughly than the simple VA_START() macro mentioned above.
71 VA_OPEN and VA_CLOSE are used *instead of* va_start and va_end.
72 Immediately after VA_OPEN, put a sequence of VA_FIXEDARG calls
73 corresponding to the list of fixed arguments. Then use va_arg
74 normally to get the variable arguments, or pass your va_list object
75 around. You do not declare the va_list yourself; VA_OPEN does it
78 Here is a complete example:
81 printf VPARAMS ((const char *format, ...))
86 VA_FIXEDARG (ap, const char *, format);
88 result = vfprintf (stdout, format, ap);
95 You can declare variables either before or after the VA_OPEN,
96 VA_FIXEDARG sequence. You can _not_ put statements before VA_OPEN.
97 Also, VA_OPEN and VA_CLOSE are the beginning and end of a block.
98 They must appear at the same nesting level, and any variables
99 declared after VA_OPEN go out of scope at VA_CLOSE. Unfortunately,
100 with a K+R compiler, that includes the argument list.
102 For ease of writing code which uses GCC extensions but needs to be
103 portable to other compilers, we provide the GCC_VERSION macro that
104 simplifies testing __GNUC__ and __GNUC_MINOR__ together, and various
105 wrappers around __attribute__. Also, __extension__ will be #defined
106 to nothing if it doesn't work. See below.
108 This header also defines a lot of obsolete macros:
109 CONST, VOLATILE, SIGNED, PROTO, EXFUN, DEFUN, DEFUN_VOID,
110 AND, DOTS, NOARGS. Don't use them. */

123 (__GNUC__ > (MAJOR) || (__GNUC__ == (MAJOR) && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= (MINOR)))
125 and then test "#if HAVE_GCC_VERSION(2,7)".
127 So instead we use the macro below and test it against specific values. */
