<h4 class="subsection">3.7.2 Common Predefined Macros</h4>
<a name="index-common-predefined-macros"></a>
<p>The common predefined macros are GNU C extensions. They are available
with the same meanings regardless of the machine or operating system on
which you are using GNU C or GNU Fortran. Their names all start with
double underscores.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>__COUNTER__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to sequential integral values starting from 0. In
conjunction with the <code>##</code> operator, this provides a convenient means to
generate unique identifiers. Care must be taken to ensure that
<code>__COUNTER__</code> is not expanded prior to inclusion of precompiled headers
which use it. Otherwise, the precompiled headers will not be used.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GFORTRAN__</code></dt>
<dd><p>The GNU Fortran compiler defines this.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GNUC__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__GNUC_MINOR__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__</code></dt>
<dd><p>These macros are defined by all GNU compilers that use the C
preprocessor: C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran. Their values are the major
version, minor version, and patch level of the compiler, as integer
constants. For example, GCC 3.2.1 will define <code>__GNUC__</code> to 3,
<code>__GNUC_MINOR__</code> to 2, and <code>__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__</code> to 1. These
macros are also defined if you invoke the preprocessor directly.
</p>
<p><code>__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__</code> is new to GCC 3.0; it is also present in the
widely-used development snapshots leading up to 3.0 (which identify
themselves as GCC 2.96 or 2.97, depending on which snapshot you have).
</p>
<p>If all you need to know is whether or not your program is being compiled
by GCC, or a non-GCC compiler that claims to accept the GNU C dialects,
you can simply test <code>__GNUC__</code>. If you need to write code
which depends on a specific version, you must be more careful. Each
time the minor version is increased, the patch level is reset to zero;
each time the major version is increased (which happens rarely), the
minor version and patch level are reset. If you wish to use the
predefined macros directly in the conditional, you will need to write it
like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">/* <span class="roman">Test for GCC &gt; 3.2.0</span> */
#if __GNUC__ &gt; 3 || \
(__GNUC__ == 3 &amp;&amp; (__GNUC_MINOR__ &gt; 2 || \
(__GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 &amp;&amp; \
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ &gt; 0))
</pre></div>
<p>Another approach is to use the predefined macros to
calculate a single number, then compare that against a threshold:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#define GCC_VERSION (__GNUC__ * 10000 \
+ __GNUC_MINOR__ * 100 \
+ __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__)
&hellip;
/* <span class="roman">Test for GCC &gt; 3.2.0</span> */
#if GCC_VERSION &gt; 30200
</pre></div>
<p>Many people find this form easier to understand.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GNUG__</code></dt>
<dd><p>The GNU C++ compiler defines this. Testing it is equivalent to
testing <code><span class="nolinebreak">(__GNUC__</span>&nbsp;&amp;&amp;&nbsp;<span class="nolinebreak">__cplusplus)</span><!-- /@w --></code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__STRICT_ANSI__</code></dt>
<dd><p>GCC defines this macro if and only if the <samp>-ansi</samp> switch, or a
<samp>-std</samp> switch specifying strict conformance to some version of ISO C
or ISO C++, was specified when GCC was invoked. It is defined to &lsquo;<samp>1</samp>&rsquo;.
This macro exists primarily to direct GNU libc&rsquo;s header files to
restrict their definitions to the minimal set found in the 1989 C
standard.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__BASE_FILE__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to the name of the main input file, in the form
of a C string constant. This is the source file that was specified
on the command line of the preprocessor or C compiler.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__INCLUDE_LEVEL__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to a decimal integer constant that represents the
depth of nesting in include files. The value of this macro is
incremented on every &lsquo;<samp>#include</samp>&rsquo; directive and decremented at the
end of every included file. It starts out at 0, its value within the
base file specified on the command line.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__ELF__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined if the target uses the ELF object format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__VERSION__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to a string constant which describes the version of
the compiler in use. You should not rely on its contents having any
particular form, but it can be counted on to contain at least the
release number.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__OPTIMIZE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__NO_INLINE__</code></dt>
<dd><p>These macros describe the compilation mode. <code>__OPTIMIZE__</code> is
defined in all optimizing compilations. <code>__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__</code> is
defined if the compiler is optimizing for size, not speed.
<code>__NO_INLINE__</code> is defined if no functions will be inlined into
their callers (when not optimizing, or when inlining has been
specifically disabled by <samp>-fno-inline</samp>).
</p>
<p>These macros cause certain GNU header files to provide optimized
definitions, using macros or inline functions, of system library
functions. You should not use these macros in any way unless you make
sure that programs will execute with the same effect whether or not they
are defined. If they are defined, their value is 1.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__</code></dt>
<dd><p>GCC defines this macro if functions declared <code>inline</code> will be
handled in GCC&rsquo;s traditional gnu90 mode. Object files will contain
externally visible definitions of all functions declared <code>inline</code>
without <code>extern</code> or <code>static</code>. They will not contain any
definitions of any functions declared <code>extern inline</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GNUC_STDC_INLINE__</code></dt>
<dd><p>GCC defines this macro if functions declared <code>inline</code> will be
handled according to the ISO C99 standard. Object files will contain
externally visible definitions of all functions declared <code>extern
inline</code>. They will not contain definitions of any functions declared
<code>inline</code> without <code>extern</code>.
</p>
<p>If this macro is defined, GCC supports the <code>gnu_inline</code> function
attribute as a way to always get the gnu90 behavior. Support for
this and <code>__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__</code> was added in GCC 4.1.3. If
neither macro is defined, an older version of GCC is being used:
<code>inline</code> functions will be compiled in gnu90 mode, and the
<code>gnu_inline</code> function attribute will not be recognized.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__CHAR_UNSIGNED__</code></dt>
<dd><p>GCC defines this macro if and only if the data type <code>char</code> is
unsigned on the target machine. It exists to cause the standard header
file <samp>limits.h</samp> to work correctly. You should not use this macro
yourself; instead, refer to the standard macros defined in <samp>limits.h</samp>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__WCHAR_UNSIGNED__</code></dt>
<dd><p>Like <code>__CHAR_UNSIGNED__</code>, this macro is defined if and only if the
data type <code>wchar_t</code> is unsigned and the front-end is in C++ mode.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__REGISTER_PREFIX__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to a single token (not a string constant) which is
the prefix applied to CPU register names in assembly language for this
target. You can use it to write assembly that is usable in multiple
environments. For example, in the <code>m68k-aout</code> environment it
expands to nothing, but in the <code>m68k-coff</code> environment it expands
to a single &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__USER_LABEL_PREFIX__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to a single token which is the prefix applied to
user labels (symbols visible to C code) in assembly. For example, in
the <code>m68k-aout</code> environment it expands to an &lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo;, but in the
<code>m68k-coff</code> environment it expands to nothing.
</p>
<p>This macro will have the correct definition even if
<samp>-f(no-)underscores</samp> is in use, but it will not be correct if
target-specific options that adjust this prefix are used (e.g. the
OSF/rose <samp>-mno-underscores</samp> option).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__SIZE_TYPE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__PTRDIFF_TYPE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__WCHAR_TYPE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__WINT_TYPE__</code></dt>
<dt><code>__INTMAX_TYPE__</code></dt>

respectively. They exist to make the standard header files
<samp>stddef.h</samp>, <samp>stdint.h</samp>, and <samp>wchar.h</samp> work correctly.
You should not use these macros directly; instead, include the
appropriate headers and use the typedefs. Some of these macros may
not be defined on particular systems if GCC does not provide a
<samp>stdint.h</samp> header on those systems.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__CHAR_BIT__</code></dt>
<dd><p>Defined to the number of bits used in the representation of the

<dd><p><code>__BYTE_ORDER__</code> is defined to one of the values
<code>__ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__</code>, <code>__ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__</code>, or
<code>__ORDER_PDP_ENDIAN__</code> to reflect the layout of multi-byte and
multi-word quantities in memory. If <code>__BYTE_ORDER__</code> is equal to

multi-byte and multi-word quantities are laid out identically: the
byte (word) at the lowest address is the least significant or most
significant byte (word) of the quantity, respectively. If

</dd>
<dt><code>__DEPRECATED</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined, with value 1, when compiling a C++ source file
with warnings about deprecated constructs enabled. These warnings are
enabled by default, but can be disabled with <samp>-Wno-deprecated</samp>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__EXCEPTIONS</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined, with value 1, when compiling a C++ source file
with exceptions enabled. If <samp>-fno-exceptions</samp> is used when
compiling the file, then this macro is not defined.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GXX_RTTI</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined, with value 1, when compiling a C++ source file
with runtime type identification enabled. If <samp>-fno-rtti</samp> is
used when compiling the file, then this macro is not defined.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__USING_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined, with value 1, if the compiler uses the old
mechanism based on <code>setjmp</code> and <code>longjmp</code> for exception
handling.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined when compiling a C++ source file with the option
<samp>-std=c++0x</samp> or <samp>-std=gnu++0x</samp>. It indicates that some
features likely to be included in C++0x are available. Note that these
features are experimental, and may change or be removed in future
versions of GCC.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GXX_WEAK__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined when compiling a C++ source file. It has the
value 1 if the compiler will use weak symbols, COMDAT sections, or
other similar techniques to collapse symbols with &ldquo;vague linkage&rdquo;
that are defined in multiple translation units. If the compiler will
not collapse such symbols, this macro is defined with value 0. In
general, user code should not need to make use of this macro; the
purpose of this macro is to ease implementation of the C++ runtime
library provided with G++.

<dd><p>This macro is defined, with value 1, if (and only if) the NeXT runtime
(as in <samp>-fnext-runtime</samp>) is in use for Objective-C. If the GNU
runtime is used, this macro is not defined, so that you can use this
macro to determine which runtime (NeXT or GNU) is being used.

<dt><code>__TIMESTAMP__</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro expands to a string constant that describes the date and time
of the last modification of the current source file. The string constant
contains abbreviated day of the week, month, day of the month, time in
hh:mm:ss form, year and looks like <code>&quot;Sun&nbsp;Sep&nbsp;16&nbsp;01:03:52&nbsp;1973&quot;<!-- /@w --></code>.
If the day of the month is less than 10, it is padded with a space on the left.
</p>
<p>If GCC cannot determine the current date, it will emit a warning message
(once per compilation) and <code>__TIMESTAMP__</code> will expand to
<code>&quot;???&nbsp;???&nbsp;??&nbsp;??:??:??&nbsp;????&quot;<!-- /@w --></code>.

</dd>
<dt><code>__GCC_IEC_559</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined to indicate the intended level of support for
IEEE 754 (IEC 60559) floating-point arithmetic. It expands to a
nonnegative integer value. If 0, it indicates that the combination of
the compiler configuration and the command-line options is not
intended to support IEEE 754 arithmetic for <code>float</code> and
<code>double</code> as defined in C99 and C11 Annex F (for example, that the
standard rounding modes and exceptions are not supported, or that
optimizations are enabled that conflict with IEEE 754 semantics). If
1, it indicates that IEEE 754 arithmetic is intended to be supported;
this does not mean that all relevant language features are supported
by GCC. If 2 or more, it additionally indicates support for IEEE
754-2008 (in particular, that the binary encodings for quiet and
signaling NaNs are as specified in IEEE 754-2008).
</p>
<p>This macro does not indicate the default state of command-line options
that control optimizations that C99 and C11 permit to be controlled by
standard pragmas, where those standards do not require a particular
default state. It does not indicate whether optimizations respect
signaling NaN semantics (the macro for that is
<code>__SUPPORT_SNAN__</code>). It does not indicate support for decimal
floating point or the IEEE 754 binary16 and binary128 types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>__GCC_IEC_559_COMPLEX</code></dt>
<dd><p>This macro is defined to indicate the intended level of support for
IEEE 754 (IEC 60559) floating-point arithmetic for complex numbers, as
defined in C99 and C11 Annex G. It expands to a nonnegative integer
value. If 0, it indicates that the combination of the compiler
configuration and the command-line options is not intended to support
Annex G requirements (for example, because <samp>-fcx-limited-range</samp>
was used). If 1 or more, it indicates that it is intended to support
those requirements; this does not mean that all relevant language
features are supported by GCC.
