predef

Overview of pre-defined compiler macros for standards, compilers, operating systems, and hardware architectures.

This repository contains includes that can be used to set standardized macros based on these system variables. If you are only interested in what standards, compilers, etc. define what macros (e.g. how to detect them on your own), see the documentation in the wiki

predef was originally created by Bjorn Reese and maintained in SourceForce. This copy is maintained by Nate Coraor.

License

The original license for this project is a modified version of the MIT license, and can be found in the LICENSE file.

src export

This repository is a cvs->git export of the predef project on SourceForge as of September 08, 2015. I won't be attempting to synchronize past this point.

The original predef repository was stored in the src module of the predef CVS repository. I used Eric Raymond's cvs-fast-export tool to convert to git.

wiki export

The doc module in CVS unfortunately only contained outdated Emacs Muse source files. Instead, I created and used slurpwiki to grab the predef wiki from SourceForge with revision history and attribution.

predef macros

These files are work in progress. Please submit a pull request to contribute.

The include directory and subdirectories contains predef wrappers for common system header files.

The wrappers must be included as normal header files. They define macros for each function provided by the individual system header file, and include the associated system header file. For example, instead of including <stdio.h>, you should include <predef/stdio.h> which will include <stdio.h> and set various macros.

All wrapper files depends on <predef/predef.h> and the associated header files directory. If single files are copied into the distribution of an application, then the following header files must be copied as well:

  <predef/predef.h>
  <predef/predef/compiler.h>
  <predef/predef/os.h>
  <predef/predef/standard.h>
  <predef/predef/library.h>

Example of use

Using autoconf type:

#include <config.h>
#if defined(HAVE_INTTYPES_H)
#include <inttypes.h> /* strtoimax */
#else
#include <stdlib.h> /* strtol */
#endif

intmax_t my_atoimax(const char *text)
{
#if defined(HAVE_STRTOIMAX)
  return strtoimax(text, 0, 10);
#else
  return strtol(text, 0, 10);
#endif
}

Using predef type:

#include <predef/inttypes.h> /* strtoimax */
#if !defined(PREDEF_HEADER_INTTYPES)
#include <stdlib.h> /* strtol */
#endif

intmax_t my_atoimax(const char *text)
{
#if defined(PREDEF_FUNC_STRTOIMAX)
  return strtoimax(text, 0, 10);
#else
  return strtol(text, 0, 10);
#endif
}
