I don't think it's for operating system's use; but for C library use... a subtle difference; which is likely moot for implementing an operating system (since you likely won't be using the C library.) However, some compilers complain about the definition of such macros. It's simply a pedantic issue - I wouldn't consider it too heavily in any decisions. > > That's why I used them, anyway.
