Hey -hackers, I am wondering why some operating systems use the macro _ANSI_SOURCE while others (ie Linux) use _ANSI_C_SOURCE to indicate that the source compiled is ANSI-compliant (and similarly with _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE). I have neither copies of the ANSI nor POSIX spec, and I don't see any mention of either of these in APUE. So I'm guessing these are sort of de-facto macros that are being used. Can somebody shed some light on why these are different, and why some have the _C in the middle? -- farooq <fmela0@sm.socccd.cc.ca.us> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
