Hi all:

While reading the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, i encountered the
following paragraph:

"...
 POSIX.1-2008 defines symbols that are not permitted by other
 standards to appear in those headers without some control on 
 the visibility of those symbols.

 Symbols called "feature test macros" are used to control the
 visibility of symbols that might be included in a header.
 Implementations, future versions of this standard, and other
 standards may define additional feature test macros."

Does anybody know how 'Feature Test Macros' are implemented ?


thanks
Saifi.
