19 /* ANSI and traditional C compatibility macros
21 Some ANSI environments are "broken" in the sense that __STDC__ cannot be
22 relied upon to have it's intended meaning. Therefore we must use our own
23 concoction: _HAVE_STDC. Always use _HAVE_STDC instead of __STDC__ in newlib
26 ANSI C is assumed if _HAVE_STDC is #defined.
28 Macro ANSI C definition Traditional C definition
29 ----- ---- - ---------- ----------- - ----------
31 LONG_DOUBLE `long double' `double'
33 VOLATILE `volatile' `'
35 PTRCONST `void *const' `char *'
37 DEFUN(name, arglist, args)
39 Defines function NAME.
41 ARGLIST lists the arguments, separated by commas and enclosed in
42 parentheses. ARGLIST becomes the argument list in traditional C.
44 ARGS list the arguments with their types. It becomes a prototype in
45 ANSI C, and the type declarations in traditional C. Arguments should
46 be separated with `AND'. For functions with a variable number of
47 arguments, the last thing listed should be `DOTS'.
51 Defines a function NAME, which takes no arguments.
53 EXFUN(name, prototype)
55 Is used in an external function declaration.
56 In ANSI C it is `NAMEPROTOTYPE' (so PROTOTYPE should be enclosed in
57 parentheses). In traditional C it is `NAME()'.
58 For a function that takes no arguments, PROTOTYPE should be `(NOARGS)'.
61 extern int EXFUN(printf, (CONST char *format DOTS));
62 int DEFUN(fprintf, (stream, format),
63 FILE *stream AND CONST char *format DOTS) { ... }
64 void DEFUN_VOID(abort) { ... }
