     20 /* The three most frequent use cases of these macros are:
     21 
     22    * For providing a substitute for a function that is missing on some
     23      platforms, but is declared and works fine on the platforms on which
     24      it exists:
     25 
     26        #if @GNULIB_FOO@
     27        # if !@HAVE_FOO@
     28        _GL_FUNCDECL_SYS (foo, ...);
     29        # endif
     30        _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (foo, ...);

     32        #elif defined GNULIB_POSIXCHECK
     33        ...
     34        #endif
     35 
     36    * For providing a replacement for a function that exists on all platforms,
     37      but is broken/insufficient and needs to be replaced on some platforms:
     38 
     39        #if @GNULIB_FOO@
     40        # if @REPLACE_FOO@
     41        #  if !(defined __cplusplus && defined GNULIB_NAMESPACE)
     42        #   undef foo
     43        #   define foo rpl_foo

     52        ...
     53        #endif
     54 
     55    * For providing a replacement for a function that exists on some platforms
     56      but is broken/insufficient and needs to be replaced on some of them and
     57      is additionally either missing or undeclared on some other platforms:
     58 
     59        #if @GNULIB_FOO@
     60        # if @REPLACE_FOO@
     61        #  if !(defined __cplusplus && defined GNULIB_NAMESPACE)
