I am working on a project and the code contains a macro definition:
#define __USE_MISC
The code is not using it so I think it has some other purpose.
__USE_MISC is defined in /usr/include/features.h
on the condition:
#if defined _BSD_SOURCE || defined _SVID_SOURCE
# define __USE_MISC 1
#endif
__USE_MISC --> Define things common to BSD and System V Unix.
So it looks like your code wants to ensure that it's defined in any case even if both _BSD_SOURCE
and _SVID_SOURCE
are not defined (Since glibc 2.20, defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE
enables __USE_MISC
).
See feature test macros for more information.
