No. Using __STDC_VERSION__ here would mean “this library feature only works when compiled by a certain compiler” which is not the case. > Assume the default standard mode of a compiler is C17, internal > visibility policy is set to C23, this is absolutely expected to have, > say ATOMIC_VAR_INIT (that has been deprecated since C17 but remained > available until removed in C23,) if not explicitly compiled for > C23. That's the fault of whomever decided to request that specific combination of C compiler and library version. DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [email protected]
