  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, ...);
  31        _GL_CXXALIASWARN (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
