No other identifiers are reserved. (The POSIX standard extends the set of identifiers reserved by the C Standard to include an open-ended set of its own. See Portable Operating System Interface [POSIX®], Base Specifications, Issue 7, Section 2.2, "The Compilation Environment" [IEEE Std 1003.1-2013].) The behavior of a program that declares or defines an identifier in a context in which it is reserved or that defines a reserved identifier as a macro name is undefined. (See undefined behavior 106105.)
Noncompliant Code Example (Include Guard)
...
A macro definition of
errno
is suppressed in order to access an actual object, or the program defines an identifier with the nameerrno
.
See undefined behavior 114111.
The errno
identifier expands to a modifiable lvalue that has type int
but is not necessarily the identifier of an object. It might expand to a modifiable lvalue resulting from a function call, such as *errno()
. It is unspecified whether errno
is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed to access an actual object, or if a program defines an identifier with the name errno
, the behavior is undefined.
