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

132 and then test "#if HAVE_GCC_VERSION(2,7)".
134 So instead we use the macro below and test it against specific values. */
