C23 defines library macros __STDC_VERSION_<header>_H__ to indicate that a header has support for new / changed features from C23. Now that all the required library features are implemented in glibc, define these macros. I'm not sure this is sufficiently much of a user-visible feature to be worth a mention in NEWS. Tested for x86_64. There are various optional C23 features we don't yet have, of which I might look at the Annex H ones (floating-point encoding conversion functions and _Float16 functions) next. * Optional time bases TIME_MONOTONIC, TIME_ACTIVE, TIME_THREAD_ACTIVE. See <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2023-June/149264.html> - we need to review / update that patch. (I think patch 2/2, inventing new names for all the nonstandard CLOCK_* supported by the Linux kernel, is rather more dubious.) * Updating conform/ tests for C23. * Defining the rounding mode macro FE_TONEARESTFROMZERO for RISC-V (as far as I know, the only architecture supported by glibc that has hardware support for this rounding mode for binary floating point) and supporting it throughout glibc and its tests (especially the string/numeric conversions in both directions that explicitly handle each possible rounding mode, and various tests that do likewise). * Annex H floating-point encoding conversion functions. (It's not entirely clear which are optional even given support for Annex H; there's some wording applied inconsistently about only being required when non-arithmetic interchange formats are supported; see the comments I raised on the WG14 reflector on 23 Oct 2025.) * _Float16 functions (and other header and testcase support for this type). * Decimal floating-point support. * Fully supporting __int128 and unsigned __int128 as integer types wider than intmax_t, as permitted by C23. Would need doing in coordination with GCC, see GCC bug 113887 for more discussion of what's involved.
