| C standard library |
The iso646.h header file is part of the C standard library. It was added to this library in a 1995 amendment to the C90 standard. It defines a number of macros which allow programmers to use C language bitwise and logical operators, which, without the header file, cannot be quickly or easily typed on some international and non-QWERTY keyboards.
The macros
The iso646.h header defines the following 11 macros as stated below:
| Macro | Defined as |
|---|---|
| and | && |
| and_eq | &= |
| bitand | & |
| bitor | | |
| compl | ~ |
| not | ! |
| not_eq | != |
| or | || |
| or_eq | |= |
| xor | ^ |
| xor_eq | ^= |
C++
These identifiers are operator keywords in the ISO C++ programming language and do not require the inclusion of a header file. For consistency, however, the C++98 standard provides the header <ciso646>.
