All library macros begin with <code class="code">_GLIBCXX_</code>.
|
| 5 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 6 |
|
|
Furthermore, all pre-processor macros, switches, and
|
| 7 |
|
|
configuration options are gathered in the
|
| 8 |
|
|
file <code class="filename">c++config.h</code>, which
|
| 9 |
|
|
is generated during the libstdc++ configuration and build
|
| 10 |
|
|
process. This file is then included when needed by files part of
|
| 11 |
|
|
the public libstdc++ API, like <ios>. Most of these macros
|
| 12 |
|
|
should not be used by consumers of libstdc++, and are reserved
|
| 13 |
|
|
for internal implementation use. <span class="emphasis"><em>These macros cannot
|
| 14 |
|
|
be redefined</em></span>.
|
| 15 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 16 |
|
|
A select handful of macros control libstdc++ extensions and extra
|
| 17 |
|
|
features, or provide versioning information for the API. Only
|
| 18 |
|
|
those macros listed below are offered for consideration by the
|
| 19 |
|
|
general public.
|
| 20 |
|
|
</p><p>Below is the macro which users may check for library version
|
| 21 |
|
|
information. </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="code">__GLIBCXX__</code></span></dt><dd><p>The current version of
|
| 22 |
|
|
libstdc++ in compressed ISO date format, form of an unsigned
|
| 23 |
|
|
long. For details on the value of this particular macro for a
|
| 24 |
|
|
particular release, please consult this <a class="link" href="abi.html" title="ABI Policy and Guidelines">
|
| 25 |
|
|
document</a>.
|
| 26 |
|
|
</p></dd></dl></div><p>Below are the macros which users may change with #define/#undef or
|
| 27 |
|
|
with -D/-U compiler flags. The default state of the symbol is
|
| 28 |
|
|
listed.</p><p><span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Configurable</span>”</span> (or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Not configurable</span>”</span>) means
|
| 29 |
|
|
that the symbol is initially chosen (or not) based on
|
| 30 |
|
|
--enable/--disable options at library build and configure time
|
| 31 |
|
|
(documented <a class="link" href="configure.html" title="Configure">here</a>), with the
|
| 32 |
|
|
various --enable/--disable choices being translated to
|
| 33 |
|
|
#define/#undef).
|
| 34 |
|
|
</p><p> <acronym class="acronym">ABI</acronym> means that changing from the default value may
|
| 35 |
|
|
mean changing the <acronym class="acronym">ABI</acronym> of compiled code. In other words, these
|
| 36 |
|
|
choices control code which has already been compiled (i.e., in a
|
| 37 |
|
|
binary such as libstdc++.a/.so). If you explicitly #define or
|
| 38 |
|
|
#undef these macros, the <span class="emphasis"><em>headers</em></span> may see different code
|
| 39 |
|
|
paths, but the <span class="emphasis"><em>libraries</em></span> which you link against will not.
|
| 40 |
|
|
Experimenting with different values with the expectation of
|
| 41 |
|
|
consistent linkage requires changing the config headers before
|
| 42 |
|
|
building/installing the library.

removes older ARM-style iostreams code, and other anachronisms

from the API. This macro is dependent on the version of the

standard being tracked, and as a result may give different results for

<code class="code">-std=c++98</code> and <code class="code">-std=c++0x</code>. This may
|
| 49 |
|

be useful in updating old C++ code which no longer meet the
