FEATURE_TEST_MACROS(7) Linux Programmer's Manual FEATURE_TEST_MACROS(7)
NAME
feature_test_macros - feature test macros
DESCRIPTION
Feature test macros allow the programmer to control the definitions
that are exposed by system header files when a program is compiled.
NOTE: In order to be effective, a feature test macro must be defined
before including any header files. This can be done either in the com‐
pilation command (cc -DMACRO=value) or by defining the macro within the
source code before including any headers. The requirement that the
macro must be defined before including any header file exists because
header files may freely include one another. Thus, for example, in the
following lines, defining the _GNU_SOURCE macro may have no effect
because the header <abc.h> itself includes <xyz.h> (POSIX explicitly
allows this):
#include <abc.h>
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <xys.h>
Some feature test macros are useful for creating portable applications,
by preventing nonstandard definitions from being exposed. Other macros
can be used to expose nonstandard definitions that are not exposed by
default.
The precise effects of each of the feature test macros described below
can be ascertained by inspecting the <features.h> header file. Note:
applications do not need to directly include <features.h>; indeed,
doing so is actively discouraged. See NOTES.
Specification of feature test macro requirements in manual pages
When a function requires that a feature test macro is defined, the man‐
ual page SYNOPSIS typically includes a note of the following form (this
example from the acct(2) manual page):
#include <unistd.h>
int acct(const char *filename);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
acct(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
The || means that in order to obtain the declaration of acct(2) from
<unistd.h>, either of the following macro definitions must be made
before including any header files:
#define _BSD_SOURCE
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* or any value < 500 */
Alternatively, equivalent definitions can be included in the compila‐
tion command:
cc -D_BSD_SOURCE
cc -D_XOPEN_SOURCE # Or any value < 500
Note that, as described below, some feature test macros are defined by
default, so that it may not always be necessary to explicitly specify
the feature test macro(s) shown in the SYNOPSIS.
In a few cases, manual pages use a shorthand for expressing the feature
test macro requirements (this example from readahead(2)):
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
ssize_t readahead(int fd, off64_t *offset, size_t count);
This format is employed in cases where only a single feature test macro
can be used to expose the function declaration, and that macro is not
defined by default.
Feature test macros understood by glibc
The paragraphs below explain how feature test macros are handled in
Linux glibc 2.x, x > 0.
First, though a summary of a few details for the impatient:
* The macros that you most likely need to use in modern source code
are _POSIX_C_SOURCE (for definitions from various versions of
POSIX.1), _XOPEN_SOURCE (for definitions from various versions of
SUS), _GNU_SOURCE (for GNU and/or Linux specific stuff), and
_DEFAULT_SOURCE (to get definitions that would normally be provided
by default).
* Certain macros are defined with default values. Thus, although one
or more macros may be indicated as being required in the SYNOPSIS of
a man page, it may not be necessary to define them explicitly. Full
details of the defaults are given later in this man page.
* Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 600 or greater produces the
same effects as defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value of 200112L or
greater. Where one sees
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
in the feature test macro requirements in the SYNOPSIS of a man
page, it is implicit that the following has the same effect:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
* Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 700 or greater produces the
same effects as defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value of 200809L or
greater. Where one sees
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
in the feature test macro requirements in the SYNOPSIS of a man
page, it is implicit that the following has the same effect:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
Linux glibc understands the following feature test macros:
__STRICT_ANSI__
ISO Standard C. This macro is implicitly defined by gcc(1)
when invoked with, for example, the -std=c99 or -ansi flag.
_POSIX_C_SOURCE
Defining this macro causes header files to expose definitions
as follows:
· The value 1 exposes definitions conforming to POSIX.1-1990
and ISO C (1990).
· The value 2 or greater additionally exposes definitions for
POSIX.2-1992.
· The value 199309L or greater additionally exposes defini‐
tions for POSIX.1b (real-time extensions).
· The value 199506L or greater additionally exposes defini‐
tions for POSIX.1c (threads).
· (Since glibc 2.3.3) The value 200112L or greater addition‐
ally exposes definitions corresponding to the POSIX.1-2001
base specification (excluding the XSI extension). This
value also causes C95 (since glibc 2.12) and C99 (since
glibc 2.10) features to be exposed (in other words, the
equivalent of defining _ISOC99_SOURCE).
· (Since glibc 2.10) The value 200809L or greater additionally
exposes definitions corresponding to the POSIX.1-2008 base
specification (excluding the XSI extension).
_POSIX_SOURCE
Defining this obsolete macro with any value is equivalent to
defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the value 1.
Since this macro is obsolete, its usage is generally not docu‐
mented when discussing feature test macro requirements in the
man pages.
_XOPEN_SOURCE
Defining this macro causes header files to expose definitions
as follows:
· Defining with any value exposes definitions conforming to
POSIX.1, POSIX.2, and XPG4.
· The value 500 or greater additionally exposes definitions
for SUSv2 (UNIX 98).
· (Since glibc 2.2) The value 600 or greater additionally
exposes definitions for SUSv3 (UNIX 03; i.e., the
POSIX.1-2001 base specification plus the XSI extension) and
C99 definitions.
· (Since glibc 2.10) The value 700 or greater additionally
exposes definitions for SUSv4 (i.e., the POSIX.1-2008 base
specification plus the XSI extension).
If __STRICT_ANSI__ is not defined, or _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined
with a value greater than or equal to 500 and neither
_POSIX_SOURCE nor _POSIX_C_SOURCE is explicitly defined, then
the following macros are implicitly defined:
· _POSIX_SOURCE is defined with the value 1.
· _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined, according to the value of
_XOPEN_SOURCE:
_XOPEN_SOURCE < 500
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 2.
500 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE < 600
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 199506L.
600 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE < 700
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 200112L.
700 <= _XOPEN_SOURCE (since glibc 2.10)
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with the value 200809L.
In addition, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 500 or
greater produces the same effects as defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
If this macro is defined, and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, then
expose definitions corresponding to the XPG4v2 (SUSv1) UNIX
extensions (UNIX 95). Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of
500 or more also produces the same effect as defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. Use of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED in new
source code should be avoided.
Since defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value of 500 or more has
the same effect as defining _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, the latter
(obsolete) feature test macro is generally not described in the
SYNOPSIS in man pages.
_ISOC99_SOURCE (since glibc 2.1.3)
Exposes declarations consistent with the ISO C99 standard.
Earlier glibc 2.1.x versions recognized an equivalent macro
named _ISOC9X_SOURCE (because the C99 standard had not then
been finalized). Although the use of this macro is obsolete,
glibc continues to recognize it for backward compatibility.
Defining _ISOC99_SOURCE also exposes ISO C (1990) Amendment 1
("C95") definitions. (The primary change in C95 was support
for international character sets.)
Invoking the C compiler with the option -std=c99 produces the
same effects as defining this macro.
_ISOC11_SOURCE (since glibc 2.16)
Exposes declarations consistent with the ISO C11 standard.
Defining this macro also enables C99 and C95 features (like
_ISOC99_SOURCE).
Invoking the C compiler with the option -std=c11 produces the
same effects as defining this macro.
_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
Expose definitions for the alternative API specified by the LFS
(Large File Summit) as a "transitional extension" to the Single
UNIX Specification. (See ⟨http://opengroup.org/platform
/lfs.html⟩.) The alternative API consists of a set of new
objects (i.e., functions and types) whose names are suffixed
with "64" (e.g., off64_t versus off_t, lseek64() versus
lseek(), etc.). New programs should not employ this macro;
instead _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 should be employed.
_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
This macro was historically used to expose certain functions
(specifically fseeko(3) and ftello(3)) that address limitations
of earlier APIs (fseek(3) and ftell(3)) that use long int for
file offsets. This macro is implicitly defined if
_XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a value greater than or equal to
500. New programs should not employ this macro; defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE as just described or defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
with the value 64 is the preferred mechanism to achieve the
same result.
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS
Defining this macro with the value 64 automatically converts
references to 32-bit functions and data types related to file
I/O and filesystem operations into references to their 64-bit
counterparts. This is useful for performing I/O on large files
(> 2 Gigabytes) on 32-bit systems. (Defining this macro per‐
mits correctly written programs to use large files with only a
recompilation being required.)
64-bit systems naturally permit file sizes greater than 2 Giga‐
bytes, and on those systems this macro has no effect.
_BSD_SOURCE (deprecated since glibc 2.20)
Defining this macro with any value causes header files to
expose BSD-derived definitions.
In glibc versions up to and including 2.18, defining this macro
also causes BSD definitions to be preferred in some situations
where standards conflict, unless one or more of _SVID_SOURCE,
_POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, or _GNU_SOURCE is defined, in which
case BSD definitions are disfavored. Since glibc 2.19,
_BSD_SOURCE no longer causes BSD definitions to be preferred in
case of conflicts.
Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated. It now has the
same effect as defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE, but generates a com‐
pile-time warning (unless _DEFAULT_SOURCE is also defined).
Use _DEFAULT_SOURCE instead. To allow code that requires
_BSD_SOURCE in glibc 2.19 and earlier and _DEFAULT_SOURCE in
glibc 2.20 and later to compile without warnings, define both
_BSD_SOURCE and _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
_SVID_SOURCE (deprecated since glibc 2.20)
Defining this macro with any value causes header files to
expose System V-derived definitions. (SVID == System V Inter‐
face Definition; see standards(7).)
Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated in the same fashion
as _BSD_SOURCE.
_DEFAULT_SOURCE (since glibc 2.19)
This macro can be defined to ensure that the "default" defini‐
tions are provided even when the defaults would otherwise be
disabled, as happens when individual macros are explicitly
defined, or the compiler is invoked in one of its "standard"
modes (e.g., cc -std=c99). Defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE without
defining other individual macros or invoking the compiler in
one of its "standard" modes has no effect.
The "default" definitions comprise those required by
POSIX.1-2008 and ISO C99, as well as various definitions origi‐
nally derived from BSD and System V. On glibc 2.19 and ear‐
lier, these defaults were approximately equivalent to explic‐
itly defining the following:
cc -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809
_ATFILE_SOURCE (since glibc 2.4)
Defining this macro with any value causes header files to
expose declarations of a range of functions with the suffix
"at"; see openat(2). Since glibc 2.10, this macro is also
implicitly defined if _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with a value
greater than or equal to 200809L.
_GNU_SOURCE
Defining this macro (with any value) implicitly defines
_ATFILE_SOURCE, _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE, _ISOC99_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the
value 200809L (200112L in glibc versions before 2.10; 199506L
in glibc versions before 2.5; 199309L in glibc versions before
2.1) and _XOPEN_SOURCE with the value 700 (600 in glibc ver‐
sions before 2.10; 500 in glibc versions before 2.2). In addi‐
tion, various GNU-specific extensions are also exposed.
Since glibc 2.19, defining _GNU_SOURCE also has the effect of
implicitly defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE. In glibc versions before
2.20, defining _GNU_SOURCE also had the effect of implicitly
defining _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE.
_REENTRANT
Historically, on various C libraries it was necessary to define
this macro in all multithreaded code. (Some C libraries may
still require this.) In glibc, this macro also exposed defini‐
tions of certain reentrant functions.
However, glibc has been thread-safe by default for many years;
since glibc 2.3, the only effect of defining _REENTRANT has
been to enable one or two of the same declarations that are
also enabled by defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value of
199606L or greater.
_REENTRANT is now obsolete. In glibc 2.25 and later, defining
_REENTRANT is equivalent to defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the
value 199606L. If a higher POSIX conformance level is selected
by any other means (such as _POSIX_C_SOURCE itself,
_XOPEN_SOURCE, _DEFAULT_SOURCE, or _GNU_SOURCE), then defining
_REENTRANT has no effect.
This macro is automatically defined if one compiles with
cc -pthread.
_THREAD_SAFE
Synonym for the (deprecated) _REENTRANT, provided for compati‐
bility with some other implementations.
_FORTIFY_SOURCE (since glibc 2.3.4)
Defining this macro causes some lightweight checks to be per‐
formed to detect some buffer overflow errors when employing
various string and memory manipulation functions (for example,
memcpy(3), memset(3), stpcpy(3), strcpy(3), strncpy(3), str‐
cat(3), strncat(3), sprintf(3), snprintf(3), vsprintf(3),
vsnprintf(3), gets(3), and wide character variants thereof).
For some functions, argument consistency is checked; for exam‐
ple, a check is made that open(2) has been supplied with a mode
argument when the specified flags include O_CREAT. Not all
problems are detected, just some common cases.
If _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set to 1, with compiler optimization
level 1 (gcc -O1) and above, checks that shouldn't change the
behavior of conforming programs are performed. With _FOR‐
TIFY_SOURCE set to 2, some more checking is added, but some
conforming programs might fail.
Some of the checks can be performed at compile time (via macros
logic implemented in header files), and result in compiler
warnings; other checks take place at run time, and result in a
run-time error if the check fails.
Use of this macro requires compiler support, available with
gcc(1) since version 4.0.
Default definitions, implicit definitions, and combining definitions
If no feature test macros are explicitly defined, then the following
feature test macros are defined by default: _BSD_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19
and earlier), _SVID_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19 and earlier), _DEFAULT_SOURCE
(since glibc 2.19), _POSIX_SOURCE, and _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L (200112L
in glibc versions before 2.10; 199506L in glibc versions before 2.4;
199309L in glibc versions before 2.1).
If any of __STRICT_ANSI__, _ISOC99_SOURCE, _POSIX_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, _BSD_SOURCE (in
glibc 2.19 and earlier), or _SVID_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19 and earlier) is
explicitly defined, then _BSD_SOURCE, _SVID_SOURCE, and _DEFAULT_SOURCE
are not defined by default.
If _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not explicitly defined, and
either __STRICT_ANSI__ is not defined or _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with
a value of 500 or more, then
* _POSIX_SOURCE is defined with the value 1; and
* _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined with one of the following values:
· 2, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a value less than 500;
· 199506L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a value greater than or
equal to 500 and less than 600; or
· (since glibc 2.4) 200112L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a
value greater than or equal to 600 and less than 700.
· (Since glibc 2.10) 200809L, if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a
value greater than or equal to 700.
· Older versions of glibc do not know about the values 200112L and
200809L for _POSIX_C_SOURCE, and the setting of this macro will
depend on the glibc version.
· If _XOPEN_SOURCE is undefined, then the setting of
_POSIX_C_SOURCE depends on the glibc version: 199506L, in glibc
versions before 2.4; 200112L, in glibc 2.4 to 2.9; and 200809L,
since glibc 2.10.
Multiple macros can be defined; the results are additive.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1 specifies _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _POSIX_SOURCE, and _XOPEN_SOURCE.
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED was specified by XPG4v2 (aka SUSv1), but is not
present in SUSv2 and later. _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is not specified by any
standard, but is employed on some other implementations.
_BSD_SOURCE, _SVID_SOURCE, _DEFAULT_SOURCE, _ATFILE_SOURCE,
_GNU_SOURCE, _FORTIFY_SOURCE, _REENTRANT, and _THREAD_SAFE are specific
to Linux (glibc).
NOTES
<features.h> is a Linux/glibc-specific header file. Other systems have
an analogous file, but typically with a different name. This header
file is automatically included by other header files as required: it is
not necessary to explicitly include it in order to employ feature test
macros.
According to which of the above feature test macros are defined, <fea‐
tures.h> internally defines various other macros that are checked by
other glibc header files. These macros have names prefixed by two
underscores (e.g., __USE_MISC). Programs should never define these
macros directly: instead, the appropriate feature test macro(s) from
the list above should be employed.
EXAMPLE
The program below can be used to explore how the various feature test
macros are set depending on the glibc version and what feature test
macros are explicitly set. The following shell session, on a system
with glibc 2.10, shows some examples of what we would see:
