141.Ss Predefined Macros
142The compiler provides a number of predefined macros.
143Some of these provide architecture-specific details and are explained below.
144Other macros, including those required by the language standard, are not
145included here.
146.Pp
147The full set of predefined macros can be obtained with this command:
148.Bd -literal -offset indent
149cc -x c -dM -E /dev/null
