According to <stdlib.h>, __USE_ISOC99 should > be defined instead, as specified in <features.h>, i.e.: No; Michael corrected me, so I'll pass on the knowledge. The __USE_* macros aren't to be used directly; only those mentioned in feature_test_macros.7 are intended as exposed interfaces (perhaps this manpage should say so explicitly?)
