  68. <h4 class="subsection">3.7.2 Common Predefined Macros</h4>
  69. <a name="index-common-predefined-macros"></a>
  70. <p>The common predefined macros are GNU C extensions. They are available
  71. with the same meanings regardless of the machine or operating system on
  72. which you are using GNU C or GNU Fortran. Their names all start with
  73. double underscores.
  74. </p>
  75. <dl compact="compact">
  76. <dt><code>__COUNTER__</code></dt>
  77. <dd><p>This macro expands to sequential integral values starting from 0. In
  78. conjunction with the <code>##</code> operator, this provides a convenient means to
  79. generate unique identifiers. Care must be taken to ensure that
  80. <code>__COUNTER__</code> is not expanded prior to inclusion of precompiled headers
  81. which use it. Otherwise, the precompiled headers will not be used.
  82. </p>
  83. </dd>
  84. <dt><code>__GFORTRAN__</code></dt>
  85. <dd><p>The GNU Fortran compiler defines this.
  86. </p>
  87. </dd>
  88. <dt><code>__GNUC__</code></dt>
  89. <dt><code>__GNUC_MINOR__</code></dt>
  90. <dt><code>__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__</code></dt>
  91. <dd><p>These macros are defined by all GNU compilers that use the C
  92. preprocessor: C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran. Their values are the major
  93. version, minor version, and patch level of the compiler, as integer
  94. constants. For example, GCC version <var>x</var>.<var>y</var>.<var>z</var>
  95. defines <code>__GNUC__</code> to <var>x</var>, <code>__GNUC_MINOR__</code> to <var>y</var>,
  96. and <code>__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__</code> to <var>z</var>. These
  97. macros are also defined if you invoke the preprocessor directly.
  98. </p>
  99. <p>If all you need to know is whether or not your program is being compiled
  100. by GCC, or a non-GCC compiler that claims to accept the GNU C dialects,
  101. you can simply test <code>__GNUC__</code>. If you need to write code
  102. which depends on a specific version, you must be more careful. Each
  103. time the minor version is increased, the patch level is reset to zero;
  104. each time the major version is increased, the
  105. minor version and patch level are reset. If you wish to use the
  106. predefined macros directly in the conditional, you will need to write it
  107. like this:
  108. </p>
  109. <div class="smallexample">
  110. <pre class="smallexample">/* <span class="roman">Test for GCC &gt; 3.2.0</span> */
  111. #if __GNUC__ &gt; 3 || \
  112. (__GNUC__ == 3 &amp;&amp; (__GNUC_MINOR__ &gt; 2 || \
  113. (__GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 &amp;&amp; \
  114. __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ &gt; 0))
  115. </pre></div>
  116. <p>Another approach is to use the predefined macros to
  117. calculate a single number, then compare that against a threshold:
  118. </p>
  119. <div class="smallexample">
  120. <pre class="smallexample">#define GCC_VERSION (__GNUC__ * 10000 \
  121. + __GNUC_MINOR__ * 100 \
  122. + __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__)
  123. &hellip;
  124. /* <span class="roman">Test for GCC &gt; 3.2.0</span> */
  125. #if GCC_VERSION &gt; 30200
  126. </pre></div>
  127. <p>Many people find this form easier to understand.
  128. </p>
  129. </dd>
  130. <dt><code>__GNUG__</code></dt>
  131. <dd><p>The GNU C++ compiler defines this. Testing it is equivalent to
  132. testing <code><span class="nolinebreak">(__GNUC__</span>&nbsp;&amp;&amp;&nbsp;<span class="nolinebreak">__cplusplus)</span><!-- /@w --></code>.
  133. </p>
  134. </dd>
  135. <dt><code>__STRICT_ANSI__</code></dt>
  136. <dd><p>GCC defines this macro if and only if the <samp>-ansi</samp> switch, or a
  137. <samp>-std</samp> switch specifying strict conformance to some version of ISO C
  138. or ISO C++, was specified when GCC was invoked. It is defined to &lsquo;<samp>1</samp>&rsquo;.
  139. This macro exists primarily to direct GNU libc&rsquo;s header files to use only
  140. definitions found in standard C.
  141. </p>
  142. </dd>
  143. <dt><code>__BASE_FILE__</code></dt>
  144. <dd><p>This macro expands to the name of the main input file, in the form
  145. of a C string constant. This is the source file that was specified
  146. on the command line of the preprocessor or C compiler.
  147. </p>
  148. </dd>
  149. <dt><code>__INCLUDE_LEVEL__</code></dt>
  150. <dd><p>This macro expands to a decimal integer constant that represents the
  151. depth of nesting in include files. The value of this macro is
  152. incremented on every &lsquo;<samp>#include</samp>&rsquo; directive and decremented at the
  153. end of every included file. It starts out at 0, its value within the
  154. base file specified on the command line.
  155. </p>
  156. </dd>
  157. <dt><code>__ELF__</code></dt>
  158. <dd><p>This macro is defined if the target uses the ELF object format.
  159. </p>
  160. </dd>
  161. <dt><code>__VERSION__</code></dt>
  162. <dd><p>This macro expands to a string constant which describes the version of
  163. the compiler in use. You should not rely on its contents having any
  164. particular form, but it can be counted on to contain at least the
  165. release number.
  166. </p>
  167. </dd>
  168. <dt><code>__OPTIMIZE__</code></dt>
  169. <dt><code>__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__</code></dt>
  170. <dt><code>__NO_INLINE__</code></dt>
  171. <dd><p>These macros describe the compilation mode. <code>__OPTIMIZE__</code> is
  172. defined in all optimizing compilations. <code>__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__</code> is
  173. defined if the compiler is optimizing for size, not speed.
  174. <code>__NO_INLINE__</code> is defined if no functions will be inlined into
  175. their callers (when not optimizing, or when inlining has been
  176. specifically disabled by <samp>-fno-inline</samp>).
  177. </p>
  178. <p>These macros cause certain GNU header files to provide optimized
  179. definitions, using macros or inline functions, of system library
  180. functions. You should not use these macros in any way unless you make
  181. sure that programs will execute with the same effect whether or not they
  182. are defined. If they are defined, their value is 1.
  183. </p>
  184. </dd>
  185. <dt><code>__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__</code></dt>
  186. <dd><p>GCC defines this macro if functions declared <code>inline</code> will be
  187. handled in GCC&rsquo;s traditional gnu90 mode. Object files will contain
  188. externally visible definitions of all functions declared <code>inline</code>
  189. without <code>extern</code> or <code>static</code>. They will not contain any
  190. definitions of any functions declared <code>extern inline</code>.
  191. </p>
  192. </dd>
  193. <dt><code>__GNUC_STDC_INLINE__</code></dt>
  194. <dd><p>GCC defines this macro if functions declared <code>inline</code> will be
  195. handled according to the ISO C99 or later standards. Object files will contain
  196. externally visible definitions of all functions declared <code>extern
  197. inline</code>. They will not contain definitions of any functions declared
  198. <code>inline</code> without <code>extern</code>.
  199. </p>
  200. <p>If this macro is defined, GCC supports the <code>gnu_inline</code> function
  201. attribute as a way to always get the gnu90 behavior.
  202. </p>
  203. </dd>
  204. <dt><code>__CHAR_UNSIGNED__</code></dt>
  205. <dd><p>GCC defines this macro if and only if the data type <code>char</code> is
  206. unsigned on the target machine. It exists to cause the standard header
  207. file <samp>limits.h</samp> to work correctly. You should not use this macro
  208. yourself; instead, refer to the standard macros defined in <samp>limits.h</samp>.
  209. </p>
  210. </dd>
  211. <dt><code>__WCHAR_UNSIGNED__</code></dt>
  212. <dd><p>Like <code>__CHAR_UNSIGNED__</code>, this macro is defined if and only if the
  213. data type <code>wchar_t</code> is unsigned and the front-end is in C++ mode.
  214. </p>
  215. </dd>
  216. <dt><code>__REGISTER_PREFIX__</code></dt>
  217. <dd><p>This macro expands to a single token (not a string constant) which is
  218. the prefix applied to CPU register names in assembly language for this
  219. target. You can use it to write assembly that is usable in multiple
  220. environments. For example, in the <code>m68k-aout</code> environment it
  221. expands to nothing, but in the <code>m68k-coff</code> environment it expands
  222. to a single &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo;.
  223. </p>
  224. </dd>
  225. <dt><code>__USER_LABEL_PREFIX__</code></dt>
  226. <dd><p>This macro expands to a single token which is the prefix applied to
  227. user labels (symbols visible to C code) in assembly. For example, in
  228. the <code>m68k-aout</code> environment it expands to an &lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo;, but in the
  229. <code>m68k-coff</code> environment it expands to nothing.
  230. </p>
  231. <p>This macro will have the correct definition even if
  232. <samp>-f(no-)underscores</samp> is in use, but it will not be correct if
  233. target-specific options that adjust this prefix are used (e.g. the
  234. OSF/rose <samp>-mno-underscores</samp> option).
