  30 /* Authors of new ports of the GNU C Library must override this file
  31    with their own bits/errno.h in an appropriate subdirectory of
  32    sysdeps/.  Its function is to define all of the error constants
  33    from C2011 and POSIX.1-2008, with values appropriate to the
  34    operating system, and any additional OS-specific error constants.
  35
  36    C2011 requires all error constants to be object-like macros that
  37    expand to "integer constant expressions with type int, positive
  38    values, and suitable for use in #if directives".  Moreover, all of
  39    their names must begin with a capital E, followed immediately by
  40    either another capital letter, or a digit.  It is OK to define
  41    macros that are not error constants, but only in the implementation
  42    namespace.
  43
  44    errno.h is sometimes included from assembly language.  Therefore,
  45    when __ASSEMBLER__ is defined, bits/errno.h may only define macros;
  46    it may not make any other kind of C declaration or definition.
  47    Also, the error constants should, if at all possible, expand to
  48    simple decimal or hexadecimal numbers.  */
