It's not a standard, but given that it's established I don't see any reasonable argument for other compilers not to just do the same. You can always fix them manually with CC="clang -include stdc-predef.h" or similar though. > >>includes it in their own <features.h> header. furthermore, even if GCC > >>implemented this for musl targets, it is still necessary for other > >>compilers or previous versions of GCC. > >>--- > >> include/features.h | 2 ++ > >> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > >> > >>diff --git a/include/features.h b/include/features.h > >>index 85cfb72a..f3d53cbe 100644 > >>--- a/include/features.h > >>+++ b/include/features.h > >>@@ -1,6 +1,8 @@ > >> #ifndef _FEATURES_H > >> #define _FEATURES_H > >>+#include <stdc-predef.h> > >>+ > >> #if defined(_ALL_SOURCE) && !defined(_GNU_SOURCE) > >> #define _GNU_SOURCE 1 > >> #endif > >>-- > >>2.31.1 > > > >I've hesitated to do this because features.h is not consistently > >included from all standard headers (only if it's needed), and the > >result would be inconsistent exposure of these macros.

That would make it worth > it adding the entry, since GCC has the expected behavior already. No; specfiles are highly tied to GCC's compiler driver architecture. clang might have some other equivalent mechanism though. Rich
