Annex C (informative) Compatibility [diff]

C.1 C++ and ISO C [diff.iso]

C.1.10 Clause [cpp]: preprocessing directives [diff.cpp]

[cpp.predefined]
Change: Whether __STDC__ is defined and if so, what its value is, are implementation-defined.
Rationale: C++ is not identical to ISO C. Mandating that __STDC__ be defined would require that translators make an incorrect claim. Each implementation must choose the behavior that will be most useful to its marketplace.
Effect on original feature: Change to semantics of well-defined feature.
Difficulty of converting: Semantic transformation.
How widely used: Programs and headers that reference __STDC__ are quite common.
