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

Defined by default. Not configurable. ABI-changing. Turning this off
|
||
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++11</code>. This may
|
||
be useful in updating old C++ code which no longer meet the
|
||
requirements of the language, or for checking current code
|
||
against new language standards.

Defined to the value <code class="literal">1</code> by default.

ABI-changing.
|

When defined to a non-zero value the library headers will use the
|
||
new C++11-conforming ABI introduced in GCC 5, rather than the older
|
||
ABI introduced in GCC 3.4. This changes the definition of several
|
||
class templates, including <code class="classname">std:string</code>,
|
||
<code class="classname">std::list</code> and some locale facets.
