为什么GCC中的C预处理器将单词linux(小字母)解释为常数1?
test.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int linux = 5;
return 0;
}
$ gcc -E test.c的结果(预处理阶段结束后停止):
....
int main(void)
{
int 1 = 5;
return 0;
}
这当然会产生一个错误。
(顺便说一下:在stdio.h文件中没有#define linux。)
当前回答
这似乎是一个(无文件记录)“GNU扩展”:[更正:我终于在文档中找到了一个提及。见下文。)
下面的命令使用-dM选项打印所有预处理器定义;由于输入的“文件”是空的，它精确地显示了预定义的宏。它是在标准的ubuntu安装上使用gcc-4.7.3运行的。可以看到预处理器是标准感知的。总共有243个宏带有-std=gnu99和240个宏带有-std=c99;我过滤了输出的相关性。
$ cpp --std=c89 -dM < /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
$ cpp --std=gnu89 -dM < /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
#define linux 1
$ cpp --std=c99 -dM < /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
$ cpp --std=gnu99 -dM < /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
#define linux 1
“gnu标准”版本也有#define unix。(使用c11和gnu11产生相同的结果。)
I suppose they had their reasons, but it seems to me to make the default installation of gcc (which compiles C code with -std=gnu89 unless otherwise specified) non-conformant, and -- as in this question -- surprising. Polluting the global namespace with macros whose names don't begin with an underscore is not permitted in a conformant implementation. (6.8.10p2: "Any other predefined macro names shall begin with a leading underscore followed by an uppercase letter or a second underscore," but, as mentioned in Appendix J.5 (portability issues), such names are often predefined.)
当我最初写这个答案时，我无法在gcc中找到关于这个问题的任何文档，但我最终发现了它，不是在C实现定义的行为中，也不是在C扩展中，而是在cpp手册的3.7.3节中，其中指出:
我们正在逐步淘汰保留名称空间之外的所有预定义宏。你不应该在新程序中使用它们……
其他回答
In the Old Days (pre-ANSI), predefining symbols such as unix and vax was a way to allow code to detect at compile time what system it was being compiled for. There was no official language standard back then (beyond the reference material at the back of the first edition of K&R), and C code of any complexity was typically a complex maze of #ifdefs to allow for differences between systems. These macro definitions were generally set by the compiler itself, not defined in a library header file. Since there were no real rules about which identifiers could be used by the implementation and which were reserved for programmers, compiler writers felt free to use simple names like unix and assumed that programmers would simply avoid using those names for their own purposes.
1989年的ANSI C标准引入了限制实现可以合法预定义的符号的规则。编译器预定义的宏的名称只能以两个下划线开头，或者下划线后面跟着一个大写字母，这使得程序员可以自由地使用与该模式不匹配的标识符，并且不在标准库中使用。
因此，任何预定义unix或linux的编译器都是不符合规范的，因为它将无法编译使用int linux = 5;之类的完全合法的代码。
碰巧的是，gcc在默认情况下是不一致的——但它可以与正确的命令行选项保持一致(相当好):
gcc -std=c90 -pedantic ... # or -std=c89 or -ansi
gcc -std=c99 -pedantic
gcc -std=c11 -pedantic
更多细节请参阅gcc手册。
GCC将在未来的版本中逐步淘汰这些定义，因此您不应该编写依赖于它们的代码。如果你的程序需要知道它是否正在为Linux目标编译，它可以检查是否定义了__linux__(假设你使用的是gcc或与之兼容的编译器)。有关更多信息，请参阅GNU C预处理器手册。
一个无关紧要的题外话:1987年国际混淆C代码大赛的“最佳一行代码”得主，由David Korn(是的，Korn Shell的作者)利用了预定义的unix宏:
main() { printf(&unix["\021%six\012\0"],(unix)["have"]+"fun"-0x60);}
它会打印“unix”，但原因与宏名的拼写完全没有关系。
我不想在这里发布任何剧透，我鼓励阅读这篇文章的人先试着自己理解代码。但如果你真的想放弃，我在这里发布了一个解释: https://gist.github.com/Keith-S-Thompson/6920347
因为linux是一个内置宏，当编译器运行在linux上或为linux编译(如果它是交叉编译器)时定义。
有很多这样的预定义宏。使用GCC，您可以使用:
cp /dev/null emptyfile.c
gcc -E -dM emptyfile.c
获取宏的列表。(我还没有设法说服GCC直接接受/dev/null，但是 空文件似乎工作正常。)在Mac OS X 10.8.5上运行GCC 4.8.1，我得到了输出:

从info gcc(强调我的):
-ansi In C mode, this is equivalent to -std=c90. In C++ mode, it is equivalent to -std=c++98. This turns off certain features of GCC that are incompatible with ISO C90 (when compiling C code), or of standard C++ (when compiling C++ code), such as the asm and typeof keywords, and predefined macros such as 'unix' and 'vax' that identify the type of system you are using. It also enables the undesirable and rarely used ISO trigraph feature. For the C compiler, it disables recognition of C++ style // comments as well as the inline keyword.
(它在示例中使用vax而不是linux，因为它在编写时可能更受欢迎;-)。
其基本思想是，当GCC使用-ansi选项调用时，它只试图完全符合ISO标准。
