Question about the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE

[Joel Sherrill]

The file says/features.h defines the defaults for RTEMS. Some methods are
not visible at the default standard level because they are extensions maybe
GNU or BSD specific. The defaults are modified by the selection of the
programming language standard and the feature macros your program defines.
I recall that I'd you say std=c99, you lose visibility to a number of the
POSIX methods.

This is the Linux man page on these.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/feature_test_macros.7.html

Note that Linux and RTEMS do not agree on the default feature settings. My
recollection is that RTEMS is closer to pure POSIX while Linux enables a
number of non-POSIX extensions by default.

You need to be careful to define any features you need early in case
sys/features.h is implicitly included in your selection has no impact.
