[_feature_test_macros_(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/featuretestmacros/7/markdown)            Miscellaneous Information Manual            [_feature_test_macros_(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/featuretestmacros/7/markdown)

## NAME
       feature_test_macros - feature test macros

## DESCRIPTION
       Feature  test macros allow the programmer to control the definitions that are exposed by sys‐
       tem 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 compilation 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 <xyz.h>

       Some  feature  test  macros are useful for creating portable applications, by preventing non‐
       standard definitions from being exposed.  Other macros can be used to expose nonstandard def‐
       initions 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 manual page SYNOPSIS typi‐
       cally includes a note of the following form (this example from the [**acct**(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/acct/2/markdown) manual page):

              **#include <unistd.h>**

              **int acct(const char *_**filename_**);**

          Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
          [**feature_test_macros**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/featuretestmacros/7/markdown)):

              **acct**(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)

       The **|| **means that in order to obtain the declaration of [**acct**(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/acct/2/markdown) 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 compilation 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 SYN‐
       OPSIS.

       In a few cases, manual pages use a shorthand for expressing the feature test  macro  require‐
       ments (this example from [**readahead**(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/readahead/2/markdown)):

           **#define _GNU_SOURCE**
           **#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64**
           **#include <fcntl.h>**

           **ssize_t readahead(int _**fd_**, off_t *_**offset_**, size_t _**count_**);**

       This format is employed when the feature test macros ensure that the proper function declara‐
       tions are visible, and the macros are not defined by default.

### Feature test macros understood by glibc
       The paragraphs below explain how feature test macros are handled in 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 de‐
          fine 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  defin‐
          ing **_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  defin‐
          ing **_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

       glibc understands the following feature test macros:

### __STRICT_ANSI__
              ISO Standard C.  This macro is implicitly defined by [**gcc**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gcc/1/markdown) when invoked with, for ex‐
              ample, 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 definitions for  POSIX.1b  (real-
                 time extensions).

              •  The  value  199506L  or  greater  additionally  exposes  definitions  for  POSIX.1c
                 (threads).

              •  (Since glibc 2.3.3) The value 200112L or greater additionally  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  documented  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  de‐
              fined, 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 corre‐
              sponding 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_EX‐**
              **TENDED**.  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 defin‐
              ing  **_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  **(be‐
              cause  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://open>‐
              group.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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/fseeko/3/markdown)
              and  [**ftello**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ftello/3/markdown))  that address limitations of earlier APIs ([**fseek**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/fseek/3/markdown) and [**ftell**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ftell/3/markdown)) that
              use _long_ for file offsets.  This macro is implicitly defined if **_XOPEN_SOURCE  **is  de‐
              fined  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.   It  is  also  useful  when  calling  functions  like
              [**copy_file_range**(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/copyfilerange/2/markdown) that were added more recently and that come only in 64-bit flavors.
              (Defining this macro permits correctly written programs to use large files with only a
              recompilation being required.)

              64-bit systems naturally permit file sizes greater than 2 Gigabytes, and on those sys‐
              tems this macro has no effect.

### _TIME_BITS
              Defining  this  macro  with  the value 64 changes the width of [**time_t**(3type)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/timet/3type/markdown) to 64-bit
              which allows handling of timestamps beyond 2038.  It is closely related to  **_FILE_OFF‐**
              **SET_BITS **and depending on implementation, may require it set.  This macro is available
              as of glibc 2.34.

       **_BSD_SOURCE **(deprecated since glibc 2.20)
              Defining  this  macro with any value causes header files to expose BSD-derived defini‐
              tions.

              In glibc versions up to and including 2.18, defining this macro also causes BSD defin‐
              itions 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_EX‐**
              **TENDED**,  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 compile-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 def‐
              initions.  (SVID == System V Interface Definition; see [**standards**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/standards/7/markdown).)

              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" definitions 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 originally derived from BSD and System V.  On  glibc  2.19  and
              earlier,  these defaults were approximately equivalent to explicitly defining the fol‐
              lowing:

                  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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openat/2/markdown).  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**, **_LARGE‐**
              **FILE64_SOURCE**, **_ISOC99_SOURCE**, **_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED**, **_POSIX_SOURCE**,  **_POSIX_C_SOURCE**
              with  the  value 200809L (200112L before glibc 2.10; 199506L before glibc 2.5; 199309L
              before glibc 2.1) and **_XOPEN_SOURCE **with the value 700 (600 before glibc 2.10; 500 be‐
              fore glibc 2.2).  In addition, various GNU-specific extensions are also exposed.

              Since glibc 2.19, defining **_GNU_SOURCE **also has the effect of implicitly defining **_DE‐**
              **FAULT_SOURCE**.  Before glibc 2.20, defining **_GNU_SOURCE **also had the effect of  implic‐
              itly defining **_BSD_SOURCE **and **_SVID_SOURCE**.

### _REENTRANT
              Historically, on various C libraries it was necessary to define this macro in all mul‐
              tithreaded  code.   (Some  C  libraries may still require this.)  In glibc, this macro
              also exposed definitions 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 declara‐
              tions 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 equiva‐
              lent to defining **_POSIX_C_SOURCE **with the value 199606L.  If a  higher  POSIX  confor‐
              mance  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  ef‐
              fect.

              This macro is automatically defined if one compiles with _cc_ _-pthread_.

### _THREAD_SAFE
              Synonym  for  the  (deprecated) **_REENTRANT**, provided for compatibility with some other
              implementations.

       **_FORTIFY_SOURCE **(since glibc 2.3.4)
              Defining this macro causes some lightweight checks to  be  performed  to  detect  some
              buffer overflow errors when employing various string and memory manipulation functions
              (for example, [**memcpy**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/memcpy/3/markdown), [**memset**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/memset/3/markdown), [**stpcpy**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/stpcpy/3/markdown), [**strcpy**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/strcpy/3/markdown), [**strncpy**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/strncpy/3/markdown), [**strcat**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/strcat/3/markdown), **strn‐**
              [**cat**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/cat/3/markdown),  [**sprintf**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/sprintf/3/markdown), [**snprintf**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snprintf/3/markdown), [**vsprintf**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/vsprintf/3/markdown), [**vsnprintf**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/vsnprintf/3/markdown), [**gets**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gets/3/markdown), and wide charac‐
              ter variants thereof).  For some functions, argument consistency is checked; for exam‐
              ple, a check is made that [**open**(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/open/2/markdown) 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  **_FORTIFY_SOURCE  **set to 2, some more checking is added, but some conforming pro‐
              grams 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.

              With **_FORTIFY_SOURCE **set to 3, additional checking is added to intercept some function
              calls used with an argument of variable size where the compiler can  deduce  an  upper
              bound  for its value.  For example, a program where [**malloc**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/malloc/3/markdown)'s size argument is vari‐
              able can now be fortified.

              Use of this macro requires compiler support, available since gcc 4.0  and  clang  2.6.
              Use  of **_FORTIFY_SOURCE **set to 3 requires gcc 12.0 or later, or clang 9.0 or later, in
              conjunction with glibc 2.33 or later.

### 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 before glibc 2.10; 199506L before glibc 2.4; 199309L before glibc 2.1).

       If  any of **__STRICT_ANSI__**, **_ISOC99_SOURCE**, **_ISOC11_SOURCE **(since glibc 2.18), **_POSIX_SOURCE**,
       **_POSIX_C_SOURCE**,  **_XOPEN_SOURCE**,  **_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED  **(in  glibc   2.11   and   earlier),
       **_BSD_SOURCE  **(in  glibc 2.19 and earlier), or **_SVID_SOURCE **(in glibc 2.19 and earlier) is ex‐
       plicitly defined, then **_BSD_SOURCE**, **_SVID_SOURCE**, and **_DEFAULT_SOURCE **are not defined by  de‐
       fault.

       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, before glibc 2.4; 200112L, since glibc 2.4 to glibc 2.9; and 200809L,
             since glibc 2.10.

       Multiple macros can be defined; the results are additive.

## STANDARDS
       POSIX.1 specifies **_POSIX_C_SOURCE**, **_POSIX_SOURCE**, and **_XOPEN_SOURCE**.

       **_FILE_OFFSET_BITS **is not specified by any standard, but is employed on some other implementa‐
       tions.

       **_BSD_SOURCE**,  **_SVID_SOURCE**,  **_DEFAULT_SOURCE**,  **_ATFILE_SOURCE**,  **_GNU_SOURCE**, **_FORTIFY_SOURCE**,
       **_REENTRANT**, and **_THREAD_SAFE **are specific to glibc.

## HISTORY
       **_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED **was specified by XPG4v2 (aka SUSv1), but is not present in  SUSv2  and
       later.

## 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, _<features.h>_ internally  de‐
       fines  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.

## EXAMPLES
       The  program below can be used to explore how the various feature test macros are set depend‐
       ing 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:
