Why do you do that?  It is illegal.

Please don't tell the Police. We all have families.
If you look a bit closer you might realize that this passage is
surrounded by the #else block of a #if defined(_LIBC) directive.

Applications must not define the macro _LIBC, it's internal to glibc and other libcs. Perhaps you're confusing it with the __STDC__ macro?

Krzysztof is right, and the quoted #defines are actually processed during compilation (on GNU/Linux at least).
