another possibly silly observation -- /usr/include/features.h makes no mention of _ISOC95_SOURCE in the early comment listing all(?) of the possible feature test macros: ... snip ... __STRICT_ANSI__ ISO Standard C. _ISOC99_SOURCE Extensions to ISO C89 from ISO C99. _ISOC11_SOURCE Extensions to ISO C99 from ISO C11. _POSIX_SOURCE IEEE Std 1003.1. ... snip ... despite its "USE" macro being mentioned further down in the same comment: ... snip ... __USE_ISOC11 Define ISO C11 things. __USE_ISOC99 Define ISO C99 things. __USE_ISOC95 Define ISO C90 AMD1 (C95) things. ... snip ... as well as even further down: #undef __USE_ISOC95 ... #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE # undef _ISOC95_SOURCE # define _ISOC95_SOURCE 1 ... /* This is to enable the ISO C90 Amendment 1:1995 extension. */ #if (defined _ISOC99_SOURCE || defined _ISOC11_SOURCE \ || (defined __STDC_VERSION__ && __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199409L)) # define __USE_ISOC95 1 #endif ... i notice in the man pages Changes file the reference that _ISOC95_SOURCE is now allegedly bogus: feature_test_macros.7 Michael Kerrisk [Joseph S. Myers] Remove mention of bogus _ISOC95_SOURCE macro The _ISOC95_SOURCE macro is defined in <features.h>, but it does nothing. So remove discussion of it, and move some of the discussion of C95 under the ISOC99_SOURCE subhead. but there appear to still be a couple checks for it: man3/fwide.3:_ISOC95_SOURCE /* Since glibc 2.12 */ || man3/wprintf.3:_ISOC95_SOURCE /* Since glibc 2.12 */ || thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
