>From https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/System-specific-Predefined-Macros.html "historically system-specific macros have had names with no special prefix; for instance, it is common to find unix defined on Unix systems. [...] When the -ansi option, or any -std option that requests strict conformance, is given to the compiler, all the system-specific predefined macros outside the reserved namespace are suppressed." You can see the predefined macros with `cpp -dD /dev/null'. $ cpp -dD /dev/null # 1 "/dev/null" # 1 "<built-in>" [...] #define __unix__ 1 #define __unix 1 #define __declspec(x) __attribute__((x)) #define __DECIMAL_BID_FORMAT__ 1 # 1 "<command-line>" #define unix 1 <-- this is your problem # 1 "/dev/null" With -ansi: $ cpp -ansi -dD /dev/null # 1 "/dev/null" # 1 "<built-in>" [...] #define __unix__ 1 #define __unix 1 #define __declspec(x) __attribute__((x)) #define __DECIMAL_BID_FORMAT__ 1 # 1 "<command-line>" # 1 "/dev/null" $ cpp --version cpp (GCC) 6.4.0 You can undefine the unix macro or rename the unix struct. szgyg -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
